This career fair is open to all JMU students across all majors and class years, as over 100 employers from multiple industries are coming to campus to recruit JMU talent from all academic programs for different jobs, internships, and career opportunities.
Registering for both days of the JMU Career and Internship Fair in Handshake is important, as the roster of employers for each day of the fair is totally different. Being registered allows employers to see your profile and resume to potentially connect even ahead of the career fair's dates.
