Students and community members seeking employment or internships will have the opportunity to meet with area employers at the Washington State University Tri-Cities career and internship fair on Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held on the WSU Tri-Cities campus, with each registrant entering through the Consolidated Information Center. Registration for both employers and participants is now open. 

Thanks to the collaboration of WorkSource, Columbia Basin College, and the Washington Workforce Portal, local organizations from a wide variety of industries are slated to attend, giving ample opportunity for students and community members to explore their options for employment. Attendees seeking employment opportunities should come prepared with copies of resumes, as well as other documents they may wish to share. 

“Bringing employers and our students together at the WSU Tri-Cities Career Fair is a great opportunity for both sides,” said John Navarro, career center coordinator. “It’s a chance for students to explore real career possibilities and connect with organizations that value their skills. Employers can meet motivated individuals who are eager to contribute, and job seekers get to see what roles might be a good fit for them.”

All attendees must register in advance. Interested employers that wish to have a booth at the event must register by Oct. 1. For information regarding the event and registration for both students and employers, visit tricities.wsu.edu/careerfair.
