The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Student Caucus<\/a>, comprised of delegates from each of the 10 UH<\/abbr> campuses and the Graduate Student Organization<\/a> at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa, is partnering with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser<\/em><\/a> to cover the cost of admission to the upcoming Career Expo for all UH<\/abbr> students with valid ID<\/abbr> cards. This is the caucus’ way of removing the barrier of cost and increasing access to the Career Expo for all students based on Oʻahu<\/span>. The Career Expo will take place on March 29, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. at the Neal Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There are multiple benefits for attending the Career Expo,” said Kepoʻo Keliʻipaʻakaua<\/span><\/strong>, caucus chair and a UH<\/abbr> Mānoa graduate student.\u00a0“For students expecting to graduate in May, this is perfect timing to jump-start the job hunting. Continuing students have the opportunity to develop relationships and get a feel for the job market.”<\/p>\n

There will be resources to assist students with perfecting their resumes and improving their interview skills. A few vendors will also be offering interviews onsite, so students are encouraged to come dressed in business attire. For students with some work experience, there will be a separate area titled The Corner Office, where a\u00a0list of management and executive positions will be available.<\/p>\n

This opportunity is available for free to all UH<\/abbr> students, thanks to the UH<\/abbr> Student Caucus. Students are able to bypass the box office and print out their free registration ticket in\u00a0advance.<\/a> The caucus is supporting a similar Career Expo on Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island next month and is looking to provide these opportunities on\u00a0Kauaʻi<\/span> and Maui next academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
