Recent college graduates in Philadelphia attended the fifth annual Campus Philly Opportunity Fair today from noon to 3pm. There they networked with graduate programs, potential employers and volunteer organizations. The event was hosted by the University of Pennsylvania and drew a large number of former students and representatives from Philadelphia businesses, nonprofits and educational institutions. Attendees were advised to come dressed in business attire with resumes at hand, ready to jump at any opportunity that came their way.
Representatives from Philadelphia business schools attended the event to recruit local talent to their MBA programs. For many recent graduates, a local MBA offers the potential for higher future earnings and expanded managerial potential across a range of possible careers.
