The CHALLENGE Consortium cordially invites you to the 31st annual Job & Internship Fair to be held Wednesday, October 8, 2014 at The Kirkley Hotel and Conference Center in Lynchburg, Virginia. The focus for this year's fair is Commerce, and we encourage you to share information about career and internship opportunities for college students and graduates at your organization in the areas of public relations, marketing, sales, finance, financial planning, accounting, human resources, graphic design, banking, or other business-related functions. CHALLENGE is designed to bring together employers with approximately 300 juniors, seniors and recent graduates from liberal arts and sciences colleges and universities in the Central and Southwest regions of Virginia. In addition to the six institutions that make up the CHALLENGE Consortium, we will continue our collaborative arrangements with the Career Premiere Consortium and invite their students to attend CHALLENGE's Commerce Job & Internship Fair, meaning you will have access to students and recent graduates from a possible 13 colleges/universities! REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! http://challengejobfair.com/employer-information/ You can register online, pay with a credit card, or be invoiced to pay by check or electronic funds transfer. Space at CHALLENGE is limited, so early registration is recommended.
