Opportunities for all kinds of majors: accounting, arts, STEM, pre-law, education and more were showcased at WCC’s annual Career & Internship Fair. Approximately 70 employers attended the event, all looking to hire for part-time, full-time, internships and apprenticeships.
Rut Timoficiec, a 20 year old pre-engineering student at WCC, went to the fair for an internship during the summer.
“I wasn’t expecting to find much but there’s actually a few companies,” said Timoficiec. She was pleasantly surprised and found a few interesting companies.

Ala’A Almounauar, a 24-year-old student at WCC, had already been accepted into the aerospace engineering school at the University of Michigan and went to the event to find an internship.
Almounauar lauded the fact that she was able to meet a lot of people who are open to hiring people who are a part of mechanical, electrical, and other types of engineering while at the experience.
While she had already applied to a specific company, Almounauar happened to see the group again at the internship fair and talked more about the position and opportunities they offer.

Going to these events with friends can be fun and a great opportunity to go up to people if one tends to be shy.
“I’m very satisfied that I was able to help my friend who is also an aerospace engineer to come forward and speak to a representative here at the event”, said Almounauar.
Pentyi Delforge, representing Apple Playschools, a non-profit organization, was interviewed and talked about the summer program they were advertising.
“We have all majors, a lot of teachers, social workers, psychology majors, engineering majors,” she said.
WCC’s next annual Fall Career & Internship Fair will take place in-person on Wednesday, Oct. 16, in the ML Building.
