Career Fair Opportunities

The annual Wily Network Career Fair provides students with the opportunity to explore career possibilities in a supportive environment where recruiters understand the value that Scholars can bring to a company. 

Due to high demand for tables and Scholar requests for industry diversity, we prioritize Corporate Sponsors and participants from a variety of fields to meet with Scholars at the Wily Network Career Fair.

Scholars have the opportunity to:

  • Explore a vast array of internship and job opportunities
  • Build their networks and make professional connections
  • Sharpen their resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and interview skills

Companies have the opportunity to:

  • Meet talented Wily Scholars looking for jobs and internships
  • Engage with and positively impact their local community at a one-on-one level
  • Create leadership opportunities for their team members

On behalf of our entire Pega team, we had an excellent experience at the Wily Network Career Fair. The student Scholars who participated were extremely impressive individuals who have bright futures ahead of them in any industries they are looking to enter after graduation.
