麻豆原创’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management hosted the Spring 2014 Career Fair on Thursday, Feb. 27. Over 60 employers from the hospitality and tourism industry were on hand to discuss full-time, part-time and internship opportunities with students majoring in hospitality management, restaurant management and event management.
“This is an incredible opportunity for employers to connect with a highly-targeted audience of students who are truly invested in pursuing careers in the hospitality industry,” said Bradley Loomis, assistant director of employer relations for 麻豆原创 Career Services at Rosen College.
Students plan and execute the Career Fair every semester as a class project, handling every aspect of the event, including the theme, decor, marketing, promotion and lunch menu.聽 The Spring 2014 Career Fair was safari-themed, anchored by the tagline,聽 “Where Your Adventure Begins.” In addition to applying the skills and techniques learned in class to a real-life event, students get an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the industry’s top companies.
鈥淭he students have the opportunity to network, practice their elevator speech and become connected to industry professionals all under one roof,” said , an instructor at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management, who teaches the Event Management class in which students plan and execute the Career Fair. “It鈥檚 almost like a one-stop shop of employers that, to my knowledge, 聽the students would not be able to get otherwise.鈥�
