Fast Chats, Big Impact: Join Our Career Fair

The Career Fair at the Student Broadcast and Sports Seminar offers employers, colleges, and universities a unique platform to connect with Kansas’ brightest future broadcasters.

Each participating organization will host a table, allowing students to visit at their own pace, engage in meaningful conversations, and explore opportunities in broadcasting. This open and interactive environment encourages industry professionals to share information about their stations, organizations, or educational institutions, discuss internship and job opportunities, and connect with students eager to launch their careers. It’s the perfect opportunity to inspire, recruit, and build lasting relationships with the next generation of broadcast professionals.

For Stations: One of the menu option initiatives under the FCC’s Outreach Prong 3 is “participation in at least four job fairs or career fairs by personnel who have substantial responsibility in the making of hiring decisions.” Full SEU participation in each job/career fair should earn the SEU a 1/4 credit. Of course, on any legal issue, we suggest you confirm the credit you will receive with your station’s attorney.
