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. 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held on the WSU Tri-Cities campus in the Consolidated Information Center and the Student Union Building. Registration for both employers and participants is now open.

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 local employment. Attendees seeking employment opportunities should come prepared with copies of resumes, as well as other documents they may wish to share.

“Hosting employers on the WSU Tri-Cities campus is significant because it encourages students to explore careers and expand their understanding of what is possible,” said Laura Sanchez, director of student services. “During the four-hour fair local and regional organizations will have an excellent opportunity to connect with talented students and network with community members interested in new prospects.”

All attendees must register in advance. Interested employers that wish to have a booth at the event must register by Oct. 2. For information regarding the event and registration for both students and employers, visit tricities.wsu.edu/careerfair.
