KIT Attends “Computer Science Day” Event at the University of Pittsburgh
3/28/2013
KIT Solutions was proud to send two representatives of our
organization to the 13th Annual Computer Science Day event at the
University of Pittsburgh. The event was
held on March 22, 2013 on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh from noon
until 6:30pm that evening. KIT
participated as a Silver Sponsor for the CS Day Marketplace event, a two hour
window carved out of the packed day, set aside for students to visit booths of
Pittsburgh area companies looking to hire employees or interns in computer
science related fields. Joining KIT as
sponsors of the event were companies such as: Google, BNY Mellon, Northrop
Grumman, PPG, IBM, UPMC, FedEx and PNC.
The marketplace was full of eager college students from Pitt looking for
future employers or organizations where they could learn more about their field
and gain valuable work experience as an intern.
In addition to the Marketplace event, CS Day also included a debate, a student showcase including research talks, honor roll recognition, student awards, business model awards, and digital media creations, and finally, a Networking Social with industry representatives, alumni, faculty, graduate students and staff.
As a result of attending CS Day 2013, KIT received many interested applicants applying for both employment and summer internships. We are very excited to create job/internship opportunities for young college graduates in this particular field of study and are thrilled that Pitt has taken the initiative to be the enabler, hosting an event where students have direct access to employers in their field of interest. This type of program is a great idea to aid students in finding work after they finish school and helps them to start their careers off right.
KIT looks forward to CS Day 2014 next year and hopefully plans to participate again. Are you an interested applicant? Check out all our job openings on our website: http://www.kitsolutions.net/Module/Careers/CareersList
