The University Career Development Center in collaboration with Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences will host the University of Arkansas Agricultural Career Fair from 10 a.m. to noon and 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, in the Arkansas Union Verizon Ballroom. The Agricultural Career Fair is designed for all University of Arkansas students pursuing careers in agriculture or with agriculture related companies.
However, any student interested in working in any of these fields is also invited to attend. A variety of employers from around the country will be in attendance to meet, network with, and potentially hire talented UA students for their internships, co-ops and full-time positions.
Students are encouraged to attend the Agricultural Career Fair to identify employment opportunities, expand their network, polish their interview skills, learn industry information, and gather information about companies.
Business casual attire is required to attend.
