Careers Exploration Day

The Career Exploration Day (CED) is held in October for fall semester and in March for the spring semester. Dates are determined in conjunction with the University campus-wide calendar. CED is designed for employers to share internship and permanent employment opportunities within their organizations with Delaware State University collegians at every grade level so that students may best prepare themselves to be marketable, exceed employer expectations and to efficiently transition from the classroom to the formal occupational setting. Employers can also make requests through Career Services to coordinate times in the classrooms where they present their company and industry highlights to the student and faculty body.

In collaboration with Career Services Cooperative Education program, employers are encouraged to form consortiums with faculty during CED to schedule times throughout the school year where collegians have coordinated classroom and on-the-job training sessions. This collaboration will also assist in developing experiential, active and engaging classroom instructions that will enable collegians to realize their full leadership potential along with the talent to understand and embrace workforce diversity, elements of change, effective communication and performance systems. Such a realization is essential in the process of selecting the career opportunity which will advance students' personal growth and professional development. Employers may view more information on the Co-op program at http://www.desu.edu/special/cpp/coopertive_education.php.

Fall CED Date: October 16, 2008 in the Memorial Hall Gym from 9:00am – 2:00pm. Parking is in Lot 1 on the main campus. The cost of the 2008 Fall Career Fair is $225.00 which includes booth rental, and breakfast and lunch for two representatives.

The auditorium will open at 8:00am for setup and continental breakfast. From 9:00 am - 10:00 am we are offering a closed session in the auditorium for alumni, faculty, and employers. It is a venue for employers to share business opportunities with alumni and to network with faculty to collaborate in the investment of experiential learning for the collegians.  By doing so, DSU students will be better prepared to work as interns or employees in their respective industries. From 10:00am - 2:00 pm the Career Fair will be open to all students.
