Indiana INTERNnet is hosting its first online internship fair through CareerEco on March 28! This is the prefect opportunity for employers to connect with students and hopefully fill their upcoming summer internships. And unlike a traditional face-to-face career fair, an online internship fair provides employers and students with much more convenience. Want to participate? Hereâs the important details:
What times does the fair take place?
The online internship fair runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. EST. However, your company doesnât have to attend the entire time. Employers can indicate a specific timeframe that theyâll be available. Students can see all the registered employersâ availability so they can determine when theyâd like to attend the fair to meet with their top prospects.
Whatâs makes this fair different from a traditional career/internship fair?
Zero travel is involved! Attend via your computer or laptop whenever is convenient to you. Employers wonât have to worry about hauling promotional banners and handouts. Students wonât have to trudge across campus in business attire while fumbling with copies of their resume.
While some traditional career fairs limit the number of recruiters who can attend, Indiana INTERNnetâs virtual internship fair allows organizations to register an unlimited number of recruiters for no additional fee. This is an important perk if your company is hiring interns in multiple departments. Also, if employers have a lull in activity, you can take the time to get work done while waiting for students to visit your virtual âbooth.â
Finally, like IndianaINTERN.net, this fair is only for internships that take place in Indiana. Out of state and permanent positions are not permitted.
How does the fair work?
Each organization will have their own exclusive chat room for real-time engagement either as a group, or personalized one-to-one interactions. Students can enter organizationsâ chat rooms if they are interested in learning more about the internship opportunities that are offered. Prior to the fair, organizations can post their available internships.
Employers can chat via text, audio or video. There is not a required method of chat, so use whatever you and your candidates feel comfortable with.
Employers also have access to search, preselect and capture resumes of registered candidates. Even if a particular student didnât visit your âbooth,â youâll still be able to view their information and reach out for a follow-up.
