WDT hosts 13th career fair
Western Dakota Tech’s 13th Annual Career Fair will bring local, state, and national employers to campus today, Wednesday, February 10, to interview students and discuss job and internship opportunities.
“This is a great opportunity for students to show their skills and abilities to potential employers,” Career Services Coordinator Curt Lauinger said. “Our students should be proud of all they’ve learned an accomplished. The Career Fair is their chance to prove how good they are to everyone else.”
More than 40 companies and organizations are registered to attend the event, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 10, in the Mickelson Commons.
Employers will discuss full-time, part-time, and seasonal job opportunities. “These employers are coming because they want to hire Western Dakota Tech students,” Lauinger said. “That says a lot about our students and about the education they receive here at WDT.”
