Career Fairs
Greater Philadelphia Area Law Schools (GPALS) Job Fairs in Philadelphia
Temple has joined with Villanova, Rutgers, Widener Commonwealth, Widener Delaware, Penn State Dickinson, UPenn, Drexel, and Wilmington University to sponsor this program allowing employers to interview students from the nine schools virtually over the course of one day, usually in late September.
Public Interest/Public Service Career Fair (PIPS)
The PIPS Career Fair is a coalition effort among the area law schools and is held each year in February. The primary purpose of the fair is to provide public interest and government employers the opportunity to meet with and interview law students interested in pursuing careers in those areas.
Resume Collect Program
Employers who cannot visit the law school or any of the GPALS job fairs, but wish to recruit students can request that Career Strategy & Professional Development collect applications and have them sent directly.
Diversity Job Fairs
There are numerous job fairs in the area that have a diversity focus such as the Philadelphia Area Diversity Job Fair, DuPont Minority Job Fair, and the Delaware Diversity Job Fair. There are other diversity based job fairs throughout the country such as the LGBT Job Fair (aka Lavender Law), various BLSA job fairs, and the Vault Diversity Job Fair.
