You're not going to want to miss our September Career Fair at Vancouver Island University!
Employers and recruiters - we have just opened up employer table registration for our next large-scale Vancouver Island University Career Fair, taking place on September 13, 2024!
This event takes place at the start of the new school year, when many students will be looking for employment, career, internship, and volunteer opportunities. This will be a great opportunity to promote any
employment or internship opportunities with your organization to new students or soon to be graduating students looking for their career post academia.
Our previous career fair in September 2023 was a great success, drawing in over 650 VIU students and alumni from various programs during a 4-hour period. This event provided an excellent platform for over 60 different employers to connect with a diverse and talented pool of candidates. The fair not only offered meaningful networking opportunities but also received an employer satisfaction rating of 87%. In a post-event survey, 31 respondents (half of the employers that were in attendance) anticipated to
hire 40-68+ students as a result of this event.
To ensure that our department is able to continue organizing events of this magnitude, and to be able to continue providing the best level of career services that we can to VIU students and our employer partners, we will be charging?$100+fees/table?for this upcoming career fair.
In addition to being open to VIU students and alumni from all programs, members of the general public will have access to attend, to ensure that our employer partners have the opportunity to connect with as many potential candidates as possible, and that your organizations are more than satisfied with the success of this event.
We only have 75 employer tables available for this 3-hour event, and I am anticipating these spots to fill-up quickly (we have already thirteen tables sell since email invites were sent), so please let me know if your organization is interested in participating and I will send you an Eventbrite link! (I am also organizing several other events in the next two months which will allow employers seeking to connect with specific student groups about internship and volunteer opportunities to do so - please let me know if you would be interested in any such event as well!)
On September 13, from 11 am to 2 pm, there will be a Career Fair taking place in the VIU Gymnasium that is open to alumni and students from all Vancouver Island University programs and members of the public!
Students, alumni and public members will be able to connect with over 70 different employers, such as:
- BC Parks
- Grant Thornton LLP (Canada)
- Kinetic
- Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank Office and Warehouse
- Marriott International
- McElhanney
- MNP
- Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce
