Kean University held an internship fair for students on Oct. 16 in Dougall Hall to introduce companies that are in need of student interns and are currently hiring.
Over 60 companies attended including Sherwin Williams, Enterprise and Bed Bath and Beyond who provided students with internship and job opportunity information.
While open to students of all majors, there was a wide variety of establishments that students could learn about and take an interest in including “Hands in 4 Youth” an educational, non-profit organization, the Boys and Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic and Wakefern Food Corporation.
“There are lots of opportunities here,” said Chevelle Ogbonna, a junior and accounting major. “This can give you a head start on jobs and its kind of like a mini-interview.”
The event was packed and busy with students and companies connecting with each other and building relationships. Some booths even gave students free items such as t-shirts, hats and pop sockets. Students were able to give out their resumes, sign up for email alerts and even apply for job positions.
“I was impressed with the number of booths that were here,” said Naheid Shahsamand, a senior and communications major. “I found out about internships that I never knew existed and have so many more opportunities now.”
