10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Teraanga Commons, 2nd FloorAll ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ students and grads are encouraged to attend the in-person Winter Career & Networking Fair!
Whether you’re in your first year, graduating, or alumni, the Career & Networking Fair is your chance to practice networking, learn about employers, and explore opportunities. Check out the Employer Lists alphabetically or by faculty/department, as well as the Employer Cheat Sheet (subject to change).
Why attend?
- Practice builds confidence: Networking is a skill, and like any skill, it takes practice. The Career & Networking Fair is a professional-but-approachable environment to start conversations, ask questions, and build confidence.
- Explore opportunities: Learn about full-time, part-time, co-op, summer, and future roles. Even if you’re not job hunting now or an employer you’re interested in isn’t hiring at the moment, understanding what’s out there helps you plan ahead.
- Gain insight: Discover what different organizations do, what they value in candidates, and how you might fit in now or in the future. By chatting with a range of employers you can also identify valuable hiring trends.
- Grow your network: Make connections that could lead to mentorship, advice, or future opportunities. Every conversation is a step forward.
- Convenient: Meet a wide range of employers that you would not normally have a chance to speak with, all without leaving campus. Drop in between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. as it fits your schedule (last check-in time is 2:45 p.m.).
There will be 50 employers on site from a variety of industries, including Correctional Services Recruitment Unit (Ministry of the Solicitor General), Ottawa Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Ottawa Catholic School Board, Camp Kodiak, YMCA-YWCA, Public Safety Canada, and more.
If you have any questions about the Winter Career & Networking Fair, or require accommodations for a disability to attend this event, please email careerfair@carleton.ca.
