Onward NRV Attends Fall Career Fairs in Virginia’s New River Valley

Onward New River Valley has had a busy fall representing Virginia’s New River Valley and its bevy of opportunities to local college students at three different fall career fairs.

The Virginia Tech Connection Job Fair was held in person at the Squires Student Center on September 28th and October 5, 2022, at the Uptown Christiansburg location. The Radford University Career fair was held virtually via Handshake on October 19th.

All three events were well attended and gave the Onward NRV team the opportunity to promote regional employers and current job openings through Virginia’s New River Valley Job Board.

In addition to enlightening prospective graduates about the benefits of living and working in the New River Valley, Samantha Livesay, Director of Business Engagement, and Ian Littlejohn, Marketing Manager, were able to network with many of the region’s top employers within the sectors of information technology, advanced manufacturing, food processing & agribusiness and unmanned systems.

Onward NRV regularly attends career fairs at New River Community College, Virginia Tech, and Radford University, and is committed to helping attract and retain talent in Virginia’s New River Valley.
