The Northern Oklahoma College Counseling and High School and College Relations departments are presenting the 2008 Career & Internship Fair. The fair will be held at the Renfro Center on October 8th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. This career information fair is to help the students here on the NOC Tonkawa campus get information about potential future employment opportunities.
“This is a great opportunity for the students to interact with future employers,” says NOC Counselor Gina Conneywerdy. “This also gives the students a chance to learn great networking skills and opportunities for employment and internships as well.”
Many area businesses will be on hand to take part in the Career Fair such as; Sykes Enterprises, Tonkawa Casino, Edwin Fair Center, Alpha II, TPI Staffing, Quality Water, Blue Star Casino, Smith Technologies, Oklahoma State Employment Office, the U.S. Army, and many more.
The fair will also feature the “How to Get the Job,” Seminar by Jeff Seymour of the Ponca City Development Authority. The seminar starts at 12 p.m. and is open for all students to attend at the Career Fair.
Suzanne Mayo, NOC Career Development Counselor, will be on hand to visit with students about career options. Suzanne will be demonstrating the Oklahoma Career Information System (OKCIS) to assist students in researching career paths for the future. If you are undecided or considering changing your major stop by and visit with her.
This is an excellent opportunity for the students if they a need a job or are unsure about a career. Bring your resume to share with potential employers and the dress code for the Fair is casual. Several door prizes will be awarded from local businesses including Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and one of them will be a 32” Plasma TV from Blue Star Casino! Hope to see you there!
