BLUEFIELD, WV (WVNS) — Bluefield State University hosted its 36th Annual Spring Career Fair on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, drawing attendance from employers from around the state.
Organized by Rebecca Hatch with the Bluefield State University Office of Career Services, this year's career fair provides an opportunity for students and prospective employees to establish relationships with employers in a variety of fields including energy, education, law enforcement, and more.
Recent Bluefield State University graduate and event volunteer, Khadija Abdul-Wahid told 59News that the event brings opportunities to the community which may not have otherwise been available to local residents.'At the career fair you get to see a bunch of industries and career opportunities that you may not know were in the area,' she said. 'So this really kind of helps to open your eyes and helps with networking to get out there and get used to talking to people.'Director for the BSU Office of International Initiatives, Dr. Sudhakar Jamkhandi, Ph.D. noted the direct correlation between the university's mission and the success of its graduates in the workforce.
'In the end, whatever education Bluefield State has to offer is meant to take care of the needs of future employers in the public sector, in the private sector, and the non-profit sector,' said Dr. Jamkhandi.
With another successful career fair in the books for Bluefield State University, another round of students are one step closer to finding their calling.
