What to Expect
The Diversity & Inclusion in Internships Virtual Career Fair gives attendees the opportunity to visit virtual employer booths where they can submit their resumes and schedule one-on-one video sessions with top employers. The event is a great opportunity for participants to increase their internship prospects, make key network connections, and realize their career dreams.
Attendees also have the opportunity to attend live events that feature guest speakers from various companies, as well as panel discussions led by executives from the leadership teams of top employers from a range of industries. Last year, the series of live events was led by keynote speaker Gorick Ng, career advisor at Harvard College and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career off Right.
Attendees last year were also granted access to the “Real Talk About Diverse Internships” panel, led by executives from Home Depot and Marks Paneth. The panel covered a variety of important topics such as how candidates can get the most out of their internship experience, and where candidates should go to seek out worthwhile internships in their field.
