The prep fair was designed to get students up to speed for the Career Expo and Internship Fair. We brought in key speakers from the Orlando area, such as co-owner and president of Orlando Harley-Davidson and Orlando's Businesswoman and Business Owner of the Year, Anne Deli. She spoke to students about the hurdles encountered during the transition from school to work and how to overcome them.

We had so many companies attend the expo that we've outgrown the arena and may have to turn it into a two-day event in the fall and next spring.

Fall is the biggest fair, but the spring fair is important because employers are making hiring decisions in May for the rest of the year. Students need to jump on it so they don't miss the boat. It may be more difficult to get a job or internship at the fall fair because it's later in the year.
