Preparations continue for 33rd annual CJ Career Day
PLATTEVILLE - Many criminal justice students at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville anticipate a career working for a federal agency, as a corrections officer, school liaison officer, or even as an evidence technician. To help them achieve these goals and aspirations, the College of Liberal Arts and Education and Criminal Justice Association (CJA) announces the 33rd annual Criminal Justice Career Day to be held March 7 in Velzy Commons of the Ullsvik Center on the UWP campus.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members throughout the tri-state area are invited to attend this event on the UWP campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to meet with prospective employers. In the past, over 60 agencies attended the career day including the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
Richard Byrd, UWP alumnus and director of the Atlanta Field Compliance Services of the Wage and Investment division of the Internal Revenue Service, is the keynote speaker. His presentation will take place March 6 at 6 p.m., also in the Velzy Commons of the Ullsvik Center. Byrd will address the vast array of law enforcement positions available to criminal justice graduates. Additional speakers will be available to discuss aspects of the criminal justice field from 11 a.m. to noon on March 7. All the presentations are free and open to the public to attend.
