Companies like Baxter, Werner Enterprises, United Way and LinkedIn offered interviews for interested students.
A representative from Werner Enterprises shared why she thinks it's an important event for Omaha students.
"It's so important to reach out to these students, especially at a young age, so that they can get to know what it's like to interview, what it's like to work — because there are a ton of opportunities out there right now,” said Werner Enterprises Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Partner Yesenia Madera.
