“Rasmussen is a career-readiness expert and we are dedicated to preparing people for success whether they are entering the job field for the first time or returning due to economic hardships,” says Elizabeth Lintelman, director of Career Services at Rasmussen University. “The Virtual Career Fair allows candidates to engage with employers and their community in an easy, efficient, safe and convenient way. The platform has been created to enhance participants’ skillsets, broaden opportunities and provide a future career path.”
