Rhodes State College and The Ohio State University at Lima are co-hosting a job and internship fair. It takes place on Tuesday, September 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The location is the Sciences Building Lobby on Main Campus. Also known as Coffee & Careers, it gives students a relaxed, in-person way to connect with area employers. Students can explore open positions, build professional connections, and enjoy a free cup of coffee along the way.
Job and Internship Fair Details
Employers will be set up at tables throughout the lobby. They’ll share information about their organizations, answer questions, and accept résumés on the spot. Whether you’re job hunting or exploring internship options, this event offers a low-pressure way to meet hiring managers face-to-face.
