We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended the Persist Employment & Internship Fair 2025! Your presence made this event a success, and we are so grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and ambition you brought to the room.
This year’s fair connected first-generation college students and recent graduates with top employers and internship opportunities in various industries. From one-on-one resume reviews to networking with hiring managers, we saw so many meaningful connections being made.
A special shoutout to our employer partners and volunteers who shared their expertise, provided guidance, and created opportunities for our Persisters to take the next step in their careers. Your support is invaluable, and we couldn’t do this without you!
