Here’s how you can participate: Just create an account, upload your updated resume, and keep your eyes on the site for internships that will be posted daily. If you’d like some help updating your resume before the event, we’d be happy to give you some pointers. Contact us at 215.670.9202 or CDS@Peirce.edu. Take advantage of this event and connect with employers in the digital world!
