Handshake's Virtual Career Fair Platform
As we shift to a virtual recruitment environment at WVU, our goal is to streamline the experience and maximize your exposure to a variety of employers from multiple industries. In this spirit, we have paired the WVU Career and Internship Fair with the Chambers College of Business and Economics Career Fair for Spring 2021.
