UCF's Internship and Career Expo will be held Oct. 1 at Addition Financial Arena. The Kenneth G. Dixon Career Development Center hosts the event twice a year, in the fall and spring semesters, and it brings more than 250 companies to campus across fields that include technology, finance, healthcare and engineering. The fair is open to all UCF students and alumni, who can reserve a spot on Handshake.
The expo runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with general entrance beginning at noon and doors closing at 3 p.m. The arena is at 12777 Gemini Blvd N, Orlando. Business casual or professional attire is encouraged, and attendees are asked to avoid bringing large bags. The arena is implementing enhanced security measures, including body wand and bag checks at all entrances, so guests should allow additional time to enter.
Several preparation resources are available ahead of the event. UCF partners with the VMock SMART Career Platform, a virtual career assistant that offers feedback on resumes, cover letters, elevator pitches and interview responses. Students can print resumes or cover letters for a small charge at the John C. Hitt Library or The SPOT in the Visitor and Parking Information Center. A JCPenney Suit-Up event at the Florida Mall on Sept. 19 and a Style Encore shopping event at Waterford Lakes on Sept. 20 are both eligible for an EXPO Fast Pass, with vouchers available at the check-in tables. The Knights Helping Knights Pantry offers a limited professional clothing section on a first-come, first-serve basis, and Downtown Industry Day on Sept. 22 requires registration through Handshake.
