Campus Philly plans online internship fair

This March, Campus Philly’s career matching website will be the center of online talent recruitment for the Philadelphia region during its fourth Online Internship Fair.

From March 15th-26th, the nonprofit invites area employers to recruit student talent for internship opportunities free of charge.

The fair will be supported by a marketing campaign to encourage students to post their resumes on the site and actively search for internship opportunities.

As a new element to the fair, Campus Philly will post a video panel of local experts, answering students’ job and internship questions, as well as online workshops to build resume writing and interviewing skills.

Internship programs are an effective way to increase a company’s workforce without the cost of a full-time hire. While students gain the competitive edge of real-world experience, host companies can increase work-flow efficiency at minimal or no cost. Internship programs also create an internal talent pipeline for employers interested in future recruiting.

Over 200 employers are expected to offer internships in this year’s fair with over 1000 students participating. Employers can register for free here.
