We have created a partnership with the NCTC, BigLickU.com and Delta Sigma Pi to present this unique fair to Virginia Tech’s Graduate Life Center on Tuesday, February 5. The purpose is to show college students that there are a number of employment opportunities in the region.

We felt we needed to be different, thus the reverse job fair concept was born. The idea is that instead of employers having booths and tables, the students will. The employers must come up to the students. We think this will help in recruiting them and also play off the current online social media movement. 

Additionally, this meshes with a recent Collegiate Times article suggesting students should stay in the region. Further, the article and event contribute to our region’s focus on attracting and retaining young professionals, especially some of those 27,000 at Virginia Tech and another 35,000 and other local colleges.

Please plan to attend and share this info with others.
