Case Study: CIAP Achieves 90% Internship Placement with Accelevents

Virtual Career Fair Helps CIAP Place 90% of Student Attendees In Internships

CIAP, the Construction Industry Advancement Program of New Jersey, is a nonprofit that hosts an annual career fair connecting selected undergraduate students with construction companies, engineering firms, and state agencies. When the event had to move from in-person to virtual in 2021, CIAP needed an easy-to-use platform with strong customer support and attendee engagement features, and chose Accelevents for the job.

Accelevents delivered a custom virtual career fair using its expo hall, exhibitor booths, live chat, and 1:1 interview scheduling tools. The result was a highly successful event with a 90% placement rate for student attendees, 33 exhibitor booths, 612 prospective intern leads, and 140 meetings scheduled, helping CIAP make the transition online seamless and effective.
