What to Expect:

Mini-meetings
Career Expo features a fast-paced “mini-meeting” session where CCDs meet more than 100 representatives from high tech companies, large and small, spanning across the 23-county region that makes up the Florida High Tech Corridor.  Designed to establish initial contact with Corridor company representatives, the five-minute face-to-face interaction gives CCDs the opportunity to learn about the numerous high tech career possibilities each company offers to students and graduates.

Career Expo also provides time for CCDs to talk with Corridor company representatives in a more relaxed setting during informal lunches, cocktail events and dinners.

Beneficial tools at Career Expo:

• Laptop (Wi-Fi will be available in expo hall)
• Internet system that students use to search job opportunities
• Employer guidelines for posting jobs and reviewing resumes
• Recruiting plans
• Access to resumes from students majoring in high tech fields

What to leave with:

After attending Career Expo, develop a plan to keep in contact with the company representatives you meet at the event and share their high tech opportunities with your university.

• Assist companies with registration on your school’s career center Web system.
• Create a newsletter or report about the Corridor’s innovations to distribute to high tech academic departments.
• Collaborate with companies to design creative initiatives (special internship programs, onsite interviews, etc.).
