Career Connections’ Third Year Brings More Opportunities

MADISON, WIS. – As it returns to World Dairy Expo for its third year this fall, Career Connections continues to connect students and young professionals with job and internship opportunities in the dairy industry. An onsite networking event on Friday, October 6 at 9:30 a.m. in Mendota 4 of the Exhibition Hall, is a part of the program as well as an online job board.

In addition to connecting job and internship seekers with hiring companies and farms, World Dairy Expo is providing free professional headshots in conjunction with Career Connections. Anastasia Gerbitz, of Cornerbrook Communications will be taking photos for all participants and other attendees looking to update their current headshot during the onsite networking event.

“We’re excited to build upon this program and create more opportunities for youth and young adults that help them stand out among the rest as they search for jobs or internships in the dairy industry,” says Cassi Miller, Attendee Programs Manager. “World Dairy Expo is an optimal time and location to connect these young professionals with hiring companies and farms as the global dairy industry meets in Madison.”

Career Connections is a free resource and event for all involved – from job seekers to dairy farms and companies. Trade Show participants and sponsors of Expo, in addition to dairy farms spanning the globe, can participate in this event by applying at https://worlddairyexpo.com/pages/Career-Connections.php.
