Recruiting Fair
Once a year in October, the Recruiting and Opportunity Committee conducts a Recruiting Fair for WV college/university seniors, who MUST be a student member of the WVSCPA in order to participate. Students meeting the required criteria can submit their resume, transcripts (an unofficial copy is acceptable) and an application via the website. In most cases, students are provided at least two interview times with participating firms and/or employers.
Career Advice
Students, aspiring CPAs, and new CPAs receive advice about the profession. This guidance may be about why to become a CPA or about how to build a successful career once the individual is already a CPA. WVSCPA members help in a variety of ways including: presentations in schools and an annual Work/Life conference designed for new professionals.
