HIRE ME at GFF Twenty-Three!

July 10, 2023

Registration is now available for the MCAA GreatFutures Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Sept 28-30, 2023). Be sure to be in the room for the most untraditional job fair around! We’ve done away with stationary booths and are bringing the students straight to you for a relaxed and casual networking breakfast. Identifiers will be distributed to signify if you’re offering an internship / YELLOW, full-time job / GREEN, or if you’re just there for the bacon at breakfast / PURPLE
Employers are encouraged to wear a company shirt and then the students will be wearing matching GFF shirts. 

How it works: 
(Let’s say you’re an employer looking for an intern.)

  1. Make sure you’re wearing a company shirt.
  2. Grab your identifiers from the Job Fair table on Friday morning (mardi gras beads).  Yellow = Internship.
  3. Mingle around the room and look for students (matching shirt) wearing yellow beads.
  4. Say hello to students who match what you’re looking for in terms of employment.
  5. Scan their badge to share contact info and/or swap business cards (blank cards available for students to utilize)
  6. Head over to the breakout room if you’d like to do a quick on-site interview.
  7. Enjoy the bacon-themed breakfast and some iced coffee.
