On April 12, OCPP will host a job fair featuring informal interviews aimed at graduating students. More than 40 firms have already committed to attend. I would expect 50 or maybe 60 companies. Several companies who had ended their recruiting programs and have found new openings will come to the fair to acquire further recruits. One such company, a Northern Virginia consulting firm, discovered unexpectedly that more than 20 positions needed to be filled after it ended recruiting, Simpson said.
Some companies have last-minute, unfulfilled needs.
It'll be a great opportunity to make a quick connection that will lead to a job. OCPP also offers several ongoing resources, such as the City Groups Program, to help graduating students network and establish themselves in different cities. It is also very helpful for networking purposes. OCPP also is urging third-year students to get a head start in the job search process. I think it is something that is important.
