WCBA students "Meet the Employers" Feb. 13

Nearly 65 employers from throughout the region will be on hand at the Youngstown State University Williamson College of Business Administration’s Meet the Employers Day 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13, in the atrium of Williamson Hall on the YSU campus.

YSU business students will network one-on-one with employers, while employers will have the opportunity to identify talent for internships and full-time positions.

“Meet the Employers Day is an excellent way for students to network with business professionals and learn about the different companies and opportunities locally, regionally and nationally,” said Christina O’Connell, director of the WCBA Center for Career Management.

The office also works with WCBA alumni in developing a job search strategy and with employers to develop internships and post these internship and full-time opportunities in the career management database, Handshake. Employers interested in recruiting with WCBA students should call 330-941-3660.
