The Office of Career Development and Professional Connections is offering free recruiting tables at its upcoming Amherst Area Job Fair to on-campus departments and programs that hire students each year.<_o3a_p>

On Friday, Sept. 6, from noon-3 p.m. in the Campus Center Auditorium, the Career Hub will host a career fair for employers in the greater Amherst area who are seeking to hire students for internship opportunities. As many on-campus employers are also looking to connect with students for work opportunities, tables will also be available to campus employers to connect with potential students to hire for internships, part-time and work-study jobs.<_o3a_p>

This fair will be open to students of all majors and all years and was attended last year by over 1,400 students. <_o3a_p>

Career Services will provide tables and chairs and campus employers need only provide one or two people from their organizations to discuss the employment opportunities offered.<_o3a_p>
