Look at you, planning ahead before graduation! This event allows you to meet many employers who are recruiting for internships and employment associated with academic programs here at DCTC.
All attendees can meet with transfer admissions representatives about further education at other institutions.
All candidates should dress professionally and bring plenty of resumes to distribute to employers.
Jobseekers DO NOT need to pre-register. This event is free to everyone.
Preparation is the key to making a successful presentation at any job or career fair. At Dakota County Technical College, join us for resume workshops!
Prior to the Event (PREPARE!)
Come to 1 or more Resumes for Success workshops to get hands-on help with an existing resume on a memory stick, or we will provide one to customize, inside our computer lab. Dates will be added as we approach this month.
Get employers’ attention after you learn how to effectively capture your education and varied experiences to communicate your value.
