Among all of the colleges and universities in Wisconsin, Carthage had the most students attend the WorkForce Fair this year, with over double and sometimes triple the amount of students from other colleges.

Just over 60 Firebirds attended the virtual fair hosted on Handshake with over 220 one-on-one and group sessions with potential employers and organizations.

“Attending the WorkForce Fair as a Carthage student connected me with a Kohl’s human resources recruiter who supported and worked with me through the entire interview process,” said Jillian Arbeiter ’23, who is majoring in management, marketing, and finance.

“By attending a fifteen-minute one-on-one session with her during the fair, I made a connection and first impression that secured an interview with one of the HR directors. This ultimately led to being offered an HR compensation and benefits internship for the summer!”
