University Will Hold Virtual Cybersecurity Career Fair Amidst Pandemic
The University of New Haven will cohost a virtual career expo later this month to connect students focused on cybersecurity and technology with top employers from around the world.
The university has partnered with the Connecticut Career Consortium to cohost the inaugural Connecticut Regional Cybersecurity & Technology Virtual Expo, which will enable students from 17 universities across the state to meet with representatives from leading companies and organizations. The expo is also open to students in fields such as computer science and computer engineering.
The career fair will be held virtually on October 28. Students can pre-schedule meetings with representatives or meet them via video chat at a "virtual open booth."
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cybersecurity-focused career fair in the state," said Abe Baggili, founding director of the Connecticut Institute of Technology.
Sponsored by Webster Bank, the event will enable students to interview with representatives from more than two dozen leading organizations, including several federal agencies, such as the U.S. Secret Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Many non-government agencies, including Red Hat and Travelers, are also participating, and many more are expected to take part.
