Waynesburg University will be holding a CIA Career day March 1 at 11 a.m. in Alumni Hall. This event will present students with potential internship opportunities for the organization for applicants who submit a resume to the Career Services Center by February 12.

Representatives from the CIA will select students to have one-on-one advising sessions with between 3:30 and 7 p.m.

Marie Coffman, director of career services and placement, encourages students to participate.

“Getting your resume in on February 12 lets you have one-on-one sessions with professional people, and I think that’s a great thing,” Coffman said.

The CIA Career day will start with an information session.

During this information session, students will be able to hear a presentation from CIA representatives and ask questions.

Students from other schools, including Chatham, Carlow, Westminster, Robert Morris, Geneva and Washington & Jefferson will also be attending.

“I’m excited that we are expanding this event this year to other schools, and I’m glad that they got back to me as fast as they did when we wanted to hold this event” Coffman said. “I feel like bringing in other schools means that all of these groups of students will get the opportunity to talk with people from other schools and even talk about what they want to do later in life.”

After the information sessions, lunch will be provided in Benedum Dining Hall, followed by  a networking session in Alumni Hall and Miller Hall from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

This is where students will get a chance to sit down and talk to different hiring divisions within the CIA and discuss the different types of internship opportunities available.

“We have only had this event for the last two years. Last year was a pretty successful year but we want to expand and bring more schools, so I went out and decided to get more schools and I hope that helps us with the event, and I hope we continue this event next year,” Coffman said.
