Career Expo 2022 at Penn State Abington
Why should I attend a Career Expo?
- Find an internship or a job after graduation
- Explore career possibilities with employers
- Make connections for future jobs and internships
- Be a part of this signature event
Who will be participating?
Regional and national employers participate. A detailed list of employers participating and their positions will be available in Nittany Lion Careers closer to our event date.
Explore Nittany Lion Careers and organization websites to find job and internship postings for the organizations that will be in attendance. Use this information to develop your target list. Tell organizations how your skills, experience, and interests match what they look for.
Approach as many organizations as possible. You never know what you will learn or who you will meet that will lead to an opportunity.
Do students or recent alums need to register?
Registration is not required to attend. Any Penn State student or recent alum from any Penn State campus can participate.
