APSU career networking event lets local employers meet potential hires, interns

Clarksville, TN – Local businesses and organizations looking to recruit strong applicants are encouraged to participate in The Govs Connection, a career networking event and internship fair, from 8:00am-4:00pm on February 25th, in the Austin Peay State University Morgan University Center Ballroom.

The annual event seeks to connect local employers with hundreds of APSU students eager to prove themselves in the workforce.

“I’ve come to all but one of these events in the past and have met and spoken at length with many bright, potentially very employable students,” Phil Wood (’72), sports commentator for the Washington Nationals, said.

From 8:00am-11:00am, employers and successful APSU alumni will meet with students in one-on-one, small group and roundtable discussions. From 1:00pm-4:00pm, an internship fair will allow employers to meet with APSU students and alumni who are looking for internships in various fields.

The Govs Connection event is sponsored by the APSU National Alumni Association, the APSU Office of Career Services, the APSU Communication Department, the APSU Wilber N. Daniel African American Cultural Center and the APSU Office of Student Life and Engagement.
