STEM Career & Internship Fair: Digital Employer Packet

Welcome to the
STEM
Career & Internship Fair!

 

The safety and well-being of our students, employer partners, and staff is of the utmost importance.  We have made the very difficult decision to cancel Seminole Futures

  • The STEM Career & Internship will still be held, as planned, on Tuesday, September 24th at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

 

Please see below for important information regarding the event and remember to share with the representatives that will be attending the event.  This site will be updated leading up to the event with relevant information.  We encourage you to save this site and reference it often!

 

Important Update: Due to Federal requirements (8 U.S. Code 1324b), signage that indicates work authorization is a condition of employment or would be used as a screening tool may not be displayed. 

 

We're excited to see you on campus and do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions!

2. Post your jobs and update your Employer profile on NoleNetwork

We encourage all students to research employers attending the STEM Fair ahead of time, and an up-to-date NoleNetwork profile is not only the best way to show commitment to offering competitive student opportunities, but also a means to ensure students show up prepared to discuss them with you at the Fair! An updated NoleNetwork employer profile turns a curious student into an educated and engaged STEM Fair attendee and applicant!

  • Log into NoleNetwork and select 'Jobs' and 'Job Postings' on the left side of the menu.

3. Request access to resume books

The Resume Books section in NoleNetwork is a compilation of public FSU student and alumni resumes.  With access, you can filter for specific criteria, such as class level, degree level, GPA, graduation date, major and more, as well as search via key word within the document.  Download your list into a PDF or email students directly to invite them to visit you at the fair!

4. Connect with Student Organizations (RSO's)

We highly recommend you connect with student organizations to help build your brand awareness.  Many organizations are eager to connect with employers to plan visits, workshops, and more.  Plus, when you plan to host interviews or visit campus, these connections can help spread the word!

Note: these organizations are more active during the fall and spring semesters.  Find a full list online at NoleCentral (https://nolecentral.dsa.fsu.edu/organizations).

For College of Business specific organizations, visit https://business.fsu.edu/students/clubs-organizations .  Other employers have had success connecting with: Women in Business, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Delta Sigma Pi.  

For FAMU-FSU College of Engineering specific organizations, the College provides a full list at https://eng.famu.fsu.edu/student-organizations .  They have various websites and social media pages you can utilize to reach out directly to student members and/or faculty advisors.  

5. Embrace Technology

Digital employer packet: we will update this site leading up to the fair with all logistical information, tips to win, and more!  Be sure to check back often!

QR Codes: we anticipate 1,000 students at the Stem Fair!  There are no printing facilities for employers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, so we won't be able to physically print more handouts for you if you run out.  Go green and offer a QR code (or other link) at your table instead.  Having students enter their information into a linked online form is also a great way to compile contacts for personalize follow up.
