CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (March 17, 2025) — Ohio University Chillicothe will hold two Bobcat Career Fairs on April 22 and 24, offering students and alumni the opportunity to connect with employers across various industries. Both events will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Shoemaker Center.
The April 22 fair will focus on career opportunities in business, health services administration, communication, and nursing, while the April 24 fair will target careers in law enforcement, criminal justice, psychology, history, social work, and sociology.
Employers interested in participating are invited to register by April 11. The event will provide employers with tables, chairs, and lunch, making it a convenient opportunity to meet students seeking jobs or internships.
“These career fairs are a great opportunity for students to explore careers, network, and make meaningful connections with employers,” said Sarah Dreitzler-Swenson, Career Development Coordinator at OHIO Chillicothe.
The fairs will feature organizations from a variety of sectors, including banking, technology, healthcare, social services, education, tourism, insurance, and more.
To help students prepare, OHIO Chillicothe is offering three virtual career workshops: Resume Basics, Interview Basics, and Professionalism Basics. Students who complete all three workshops will receive a portfolio to organize their career fair materials. Dreitzler-Swenson encourages students to have their resumes reviewed through career coaching appointments before the event and to consider scheduling an interview prep session for more confidence when speaking with employers.
For the fair, students are advised to dress in business casual attire when meeting with employers. Those in need of professional clothing can visit the Student Resource Center Career Closet in Bennett Hall 129. The April 24 Career Fair will conclude with a fashion show, where students will model outfits available at the Student Resource Center.
These career fairs are free to attend for all students and alumni. For more information about Career Services at Ohio University Chillicothe, visit the university’s website.
