OABA Members Encouraged to Participate in Virtual Career Exploration Fair

Hosted by OABA and OSU CFAES

The Farm Science Review Career Exploration Fair, previously planned to be held during the 2020 Farm Science Review, will now be offered as a virtual event. This event is hosted by the Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) and The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).

The FSR Career Exploration Fair is an opportunity for career seekers, from high school and college students to mid-career professionals, who are looking to start or change their career path to connect with agribusiness employers.

The virtual event will be offered in three parts:

1. Pre-event: Companies will post overview videos for participants to view. Videos allow participants to choose companies to network with during the event.  
2. Virtual event: The virtual Career Exploration Fair will be held September 23 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., allowing participants time to network with companies and ask questions regarding available positions and scholarships. Companies are responsible for including a web-based networking software link (Zoom, WebEx, etc.) on their Map My Show profile and manning that link during the virtual event. 
3. Post-event: Interested participants and companies are encouraged to schedule post-event follow-ups to continue the conversations started during the Career Fair. 

FSR virtual exhibitors and OABA members can engage in this free opportunity by contacting Nick Zachrich at zachrich.13@osu.edu. Additional details are available at oaba.net/events.
