Special Student Presentations at the Fair
10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. – NP 101: Intro to Careers in Nonprofits
Did you know that nonprofits make up 11% of Minnesota’s workforce? What is a nonprofit organization anyway? Will I get paid enough if I work at one? How do nonprofits stay in business? What types of jobs are available? What is the best way to get my foot in the door? These topics and others will be discussed at this session.
11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – Launching a Public Sector Career
Every day tens of thousands of Minnesotans go to work driven by a desire to help others. They are social workers and environmentalists, lawyers and engineers, programmers and researchers, and they work behind the scenes to help ensure everyone is safe, healthy, and successful. This is your opportunity to meet these civil servants and learn about how you can join them in creating impactful change.
Getting to the Fair: Strommen Career & Internship Staff will be walking or driving over groups of students. Details will follow after you have registered.
