JAG students prepared and planned for the event for months by emailing and calling colleges, businesses and trade schools, creating a game to promote student involvement, designing flyers and registration forms, and navigating logistics. They learned many transferable skills such as collaboration, delegation, time management, professional communication, and networking. The day of the fair, JAG students hosted 25 vendors and encouraged active participation of 600-plus students. Students who attended the career fair were exposed to a variety of career paths. They were able to network with businesses colleges, and trade schools, learn about the necessary skills to be successful in various industries and ask questions and seek guidance about their chosen field.
