Career fair grows

Dayton, Ohio (WDTN) - Because of increased interest from organizations and students, the University of Dayton will hold its spring career fair at the University of Dayton Arena.

The career fairs, scheduled twice a year, has opportunities for students and alumni to speak with interested employers about job prospects and graduate schools  including internships, co-op and full-time employment.

The Career Fair will host a record 160 organizations this year, including 15 grad schools up from last year's 128 in attendance.

UD's Career Services Department will run two shuttles in a continuous loop from the RecPlex on campus to the Arena throughout the event.

We're told that employers from "major" companies are looking to hire Flyers of any academic major who are interested in their field.

Once hired, the student will be placed into a management development program and will be given all of the training necessary.

The 2013 Career Fair runs Monday, Feb. 11 from 1 to 5 at The University of Dayton Arena.
