Confederation College’s Career & Job Fair is an essential event to connect with our employer partners. The event is designed to help individuals to learn about opportunities and make connections with key local, provincial, regional, as well as national employers.

Complimentary parking is offered to event participants and exhibitors in the Green Lots (F, E & D)(opens in new window).

How to Prepare

2. Prepare and update your resume by accessing support through Student Career Services or Northwest Employment Works (NEW).
3. Refer to resources in the Student Employment Preparation Course on Blackboard.
4. Review the job postings within the MyCareer Job Bank. As this is a busy event, each employer has a limited amount of time so the more research you can do in advance, the easier it will be to engage discussions and maximize your time with each employer.
