Explore Opportunities at Two Dedicated Career Fairs
ECU Career Services is organizing two focused events on the same day to maximize opportunities for both employers and job seekers. The day begins with the Job and Internship Fair, running from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. This fair is broadly aimed at students and alumni from all academic disciplines, offering a diverse array of opportunities across various sectors. Following in the afternoon, the Science, Engineering, and Technology Fair will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This specialized fair is geared towards students and alumni with backgrounds in science, engineering, technology, and related fields, connecting them with employers specifically seeking talent in these high-demand industries. Both events are conveniently located at the Greenville Convention Center and are exclusively open to current ECU students and alumni, creating a focused and productive recruitment environment.
Connect with a Record Number of Employers
This year’s ECU Career Fair 2023 is attracting an unprecedented number of employers, signaling a robust job market and high demand for ECU graduates. The Job and Internship Fair will host over 100 employers eager to recruit individuals from all academic majors within ECU. The afternoon Science, Engineering, and Technology Fair is even larger, with over 200 employers registered, all with a specific focus on recruiting for roles in engineering, construction management, pharmaceuticals, technology, and other STEM-related areas. This impressive employer turnout highlights the value placed on ECU talent and provides attendees with a wealth of networking and interview opportunities.
Your Chance to Network and Secure Interviews
Attending the ECU Career Fair 2023 offers more than just the chance to browse job openings. These events are specifically structured to facilitate meaningful connections between job seekers and recruiters. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to network, engage in conversations with company representatives, and even secure on-the-spot interviews. Building on the career fair momentum, ECU Career Services will also facilitate on-campus interviews on September 28th. Many of the organizations participating in the career fairs will return to campus to conduct follow-up interviews with promising candidates they identified at the events, offering a streamlined path from initial meeting to potential job offer.

It continues to be a strong job market, and employers are looking to hire our students for full-time employment and for internships and co-ops.
