Video Watch Now! - What Employers and Students Are Saying About CareerFest!
Return to CareerFest HomepageThe annual OFIC CareerFest was held on Friday, February 3, 2012 in Columbus, Ohio at the Aladdin Shrine Center. The purpose of CareerFest is to bring students and alumni from OFIC's 34 member institutions to meet with OFIC's donor companies and organizations in one central location to discuss internship and employment opportunities. This year 119 organizations - businesses, corporations, non-profit groups, and government agencies - and over 1,100 students registered from 33 of our campuses to discuss permanent employment and internship opportunities. Any student who registered but could not attend received all of the employer contact information for their employment search.
CareerFest 2013 has been scheduled for February 1st in the same location and our goal is to achieve a growth in employers and return to 1,200 students.
