Issue date: 2/4/09 Section: News
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) is offering an International Student Virtual Career Fair for students who may be struggling to find work opportunities due to complications with their visa.
The Virtual Career Fair was created in response to the difficulties that international students face when trying to remain in the United States.
The fair is completely web-based for easier access.
There are; however, stipulations present.
This opportunity is only available to international students who are not citizens or authorized to work in the United States.
Since Lock Haven University is a NACE-member university, all current international students and alumni are invited to register.
Students who are eligible are international students who wish to return to their home country.
They may want to return home for employment and internships or other reasons.
Students who are pursuing one-year Optional Practical Training (OPT) and those pursuing summer Curricular Practical Training (CPT) internships in the United States are also qualified to register.
Registration is available online through the Career Services Web site under the off-campus events link.
Once registered, students will have the opportunity to apply for jobs and internships until June 1, 2009.
Students participating in the International Virtual Career Fair will have easy access to employers.
These employers are offering full-time, summer internships, co-ops and temporary or contract opportunities.
NACE offers all students information on employment, internships, graduate programs, career articles, résumé and job search advice, government programs and more through their service site JobWeb.
The link is available through the General Job Search Sites under the Internet Resources link.
This all can be found on the Career Services Web site.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers also publishes a yearly magazine.
This magazine is available to students for free through the Career Services Office, Akeley 114.
