WVU Parkersburg to host Nursing Job Fair to bring opportunities to students

Parkersburg, W.Va. (Feb. 24, 2025) — WVU Parkersburg will host a Nursing Job Fair for students on March 3, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. This event will provide students with an invaluable opportunity to connect with healthcare employers seeking to fill a range of nursing-related positions.

“The job fair is beneficial for employers and students because it puts them all in the same place at the same time,” said Jami Casenelli, nursing instructor. “Employers are able to reach all of our students at all levels and tell them what they can offer. Students can learn about opportunities such as externships while still in school and nurse residencies after they graduate.”

The job fair will feature a diverse group of local and regional healthcare providers, ranging from hospitals to outpatient care centers. Students will have the chance to meet representatives from these organizations, learn about job openings, internship opportunities and residency programs designed to provide real-world experience and enhance students’ nursing skills.

The event is open to WVU Parkersburg nursing students and pre-registration is not required.
