Get ready for next week's Education and Health Career and Internship Fair

February 24, 2023

Are you a WWU student looking for job or internship opportunities? Meet with dozens of employers who want to promote opportunities in public, private and informal education/teaching sectors, and health-related such as speech-language pathology and audiology!

The Education and Health Career and Internship Fair will be Friday, March 3, 10 a.m.-2 pm. in the Viking Union Multi-Purpose Room.

The entire WWU community, including students, alumni, and campus visitors, are welcome to attend this free event to learn about employers and get hired or build their network! This is an in-person career fair, so meeting with employers is on a first-come first serve basis, unlike virtual career fairs held last academic year.

Ready to participate? View a list of participating employers featured on the Student Preview Page in Handshake. Advanced registration (via Handshake) is encouraged, but not required, to receive updates on newly registered employers and to get career fair preparation tips! Unsure how to access your Handshake account—visit the Handshake Hub!

Some suggested activities to get ready:

  • Review available jobs and internships from dozens of participating employers, including the Bellingham Coding and Robotics Club, Camp Korey, Lummi Nation Schools, Seattle Public Schools and Skagit Preschool and Resource Center.
