Likewise, employers often have summer positions but don't know how to reach students efficiently and inexpensively. The Summer Job Bank is designed to meet both sets of needs. Employers interested in advertising positions on the job bank can easily enter, modify, and delete their listings themselves.
Students can search listings by type and reply directly to employers.
The service is free of charge. The BEV hopes to use the Summer Job Bank as a prototype for a comprehensive regional job bank in the future. Virginia Tech enrolls about 6,000 students during summer sessions. The internationally recognized BEV is an outreach effort of Virginia Tech that supports community networking in Blacksburg and around the commonwealth.
