College students prepare for upcoming career fair

DULUTH, Minn. — Fuse Duluth partnered with the UMD Career Center to host the second annual “Ready for the Real World Series.”

The free event was open to all college students across the Twin Ports, not just UMD students. Local employers, including AMSOIL, Cirrus Aircraft, and Maurices, hosted roundtable discussions focused on interview skills, personal branding, and negotiation strategies. Students could also receive résumé feedback from Duluth Workforce Development and networking advice from the UMD Career Center.

“Really, any student can benefit from this, no matter their graduation year, no matter their major,” said Aubrey Hagen, program director for Fuse Duluth. “Learning, all of these skills, they are widely applicable.”

Students will have the chance to apply the skills they learned at the “All Majors Career Fairs.”
