Description

The Lyon College Center for Career and Professional Development will sponsor its fall 2024 Career Expo for current students, alumni and the community from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, in the Becknell Gymnasium on the Lyon College campus, 2300 Highland Rd., Batesville. 

Recruiters from business and industry, as well as university graduate programs, will be on hand for the event designed to introduce both Lyon College students and other interested persons to potential future employers, internships and graduate studies. 

"We're thrilled to welcome employer representatives back to campus to connect with our students, faculty and community," said Patrick Lynch, director of the Center for Career and Professional Development. "The demand for talent is at an all-time high, and employers are eager to be here and engage with the Lyon College community." 

Attendees are encouraged to update their resumes and LinkedIn profiles, wear professional business attire, create a list of target companies, research the companies, prepare insightful questions and practice a 30-second elevator speech. More than 30 companies and organizations are scheduled to participate in this year’s event. The Center for Career and Professional Development works year-round to help students land full-time jobs and internships, offering programs for both students and companies. Students are offered one-on-one training in essential skills such as resume preparation, interviewing skills and career search. Companies interested in being a part of the Career Expo can contact Patrick Lynch at Patrick.Lynch@Lyon.edu or call (870) 307-7227.
