More than 75 statistics professionals and students attended the inaugural North Carolina Chapter Career Information Fair in April. The fair enabled attendees to learn more about the variety of careers and opportunities available to statisticians and data scientists at different organizations. More than a dozen companies and universities in The Triangle were represented.
This was the first time NC ASA has organized a career fair and, based on the strong turnout and positive feedback received from both attendees and organization representatives, it was a success.
In an online survey after the fair, a student participant wrote, “It was not a huge fair, but it had a great lineup of employers for data analysts. I attended … a much bigger fair, but there were fewer companies there that were relevant. This fair was quality instead of quantity.”
The NC Chapter looks forward to holding more events like this in the coming years.
