Get ready for an exciting career opportunity! The University of South Florida is opening doors to a bright future in AI and Cybersecurity.
USF is hosting its very first Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Computing Career Fair, an event that promises to be a game-changer for students and alumni passionate about technology and computing.
But here's where it gets controversial... This career fair isn't just about any old tech jobs. It's focused on the hottest, most in-demand fields right now: AI and Cybersecurity. With a 12% increase in jobs compared to 2024, these sectors are booming, and USF is at the forefront of this revolution.
The fair, taking place over two days, is an initiative of the brand-new Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Computing. It's an incredible chance for attendees to explore a wide range of roles, from cybersecurity positions to internships, and even delve into business analytics, data science, and computer science.
And this is the part most people miss... It's not just about the jobs. It's about the future of technology and the role USF is playing in shaping it. With big names like Deloitte, ReliaQuest, Honeywell, and Uber AI in attendance, it's a unique opportunity to network and learn from industry leaders.
The event was originally planned for the spring but, due to overwhelming demand, USF decided to bring it forward to the fall. Organizers are expecting a huge turnout, with estimates ranging from 800 to 2,000 attendees. Ivan Montero, an adjunct instructor at USF, says, "We're expecting heavy attendance, and we're thrilled to offer this opportunity to our students, especially as it's our inaugural semester."
In addition to the career fair, USF will also host workshops on resume writing and cover letters, ensuring attendees are fully prepared to make the most of this incredible opportunity.
The career fair kicks off on Monday at 11 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m. On Tuesday, students can schedule interviews with employers they met at the fair, a chance to take that next step towards their dream career.
So, are you ready to be a part of this exciting future? Remember to dress professionally and bring your resumes! USF is opening doors, and it's up to you to walk through them.
