The Hood College Career Center\u2019s biannual Volunteer and Internship Fair is back and set to take place virtually on March 29 at noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fair is a great opportunity for Hood students to network with nonprofit organizations and potential employers. It allows students to show and gain communication skills and learn about great opportunities in and around the Frederick community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI attended the fair both years I was an undergraduate student at Hood College,\u201d Breanna Harwood, the Career Center\u2019s Career Development Program Manager, said. \u201cThis event is really for everyone. This is such a great chance to get one-on-one time with representatives that you would not get otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the pandemic, the Career Center would usually have up to 200 students and more 50 organizations attend the fair. Due to restrictions, this year there will only be around 25 organizations involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTypically for virtual events, it\u2019s easier to handle a smaller amount of organizations. It\u2019s just more suitable for the platform we have to use,\u201d Harwood said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
