Maine Business School Second Annual Career Week

MBS is ready to kick off the Second Annual Career Week, a week of networking and professional development for all business students. Career Week gives students the opportunity to explore summer internships, build connections with top employers, and enhance their professional development. The highlight of the week is the UMaine All Majors Career Fair, held on Wednesday, February 11, at the New Balance Student Recreation Center.

What’s the best part of Career Week?

These events, hosted by MBS and UMaine, are completely free for students! This gives all students the chance to take the next step in their careers without any financial strain. The Maine Business School is committed to providing MBS students with every opportunity for success, and Career Week is an ideal time for students and employers to connect professionally at the start of a new semester. 

What’s so important about Career Week?

“Career Week is a great opportunity to meet with employers, explore new industries and career paths, and grow your professional network,” says Trina Schuler, MBS Internship Coordinator. If students are actively looking for an internship or job, Shuler recommends they attend the MBS Lunch and Learn with Enterprise and the UMaine Career Fair at the New Balance Student Recreation Center. “This is your chance to make a great first impression on a potential employer,” Shuler adds.
