Niagara College’s annual Career Fair returns this February, offering students and alumni expanded opportunities to connect with employers and explore future career pathways.
For the first time, the College’s largest career-focused event will be held over six days and will be hosted at both the Welland Campus and the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Organized by NC’s Career and Co-op Services, the Career Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 4, 5, and 6 at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus, and on Feb. 9, 10, and 11 at the Welland Campus.
Open to all Niagara College students and alumni, the Career Fair brings together more than 100 employers from a wide range of industries who are recruiting for full-time, part-time, seasonal, and co-op positions. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with employers, learn about industry opportunities, and make meaningful professional connections. No registration is required for students and alumni.
“The Career Fair is a great opportunity for students and alumni to meet directly with potential employers, learn more about their industries, and explore a variety of career pathways,” said Emily Caldwell, Career Consultant with Niagara College. “It allows NC students and alumni who are looking for jobs to have real conversations, ask questions, and make connections that can lead to future employment.”
Employers such as Niagara Region and Niagara Health attend the Career Fair annually to recruit talent and connect with future employees.
“Attend the Niagara College Career Fair to discover how working within the Niagara Region is more than just a job, it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact in your community,” said Alison Pizzacalla, Talent Acquisition Advisor, Niagara Region. “Explore diverse career paths where you can learn, grow, and be part of something bigger.”
“Participating in the Niagara College Career Fair allows us to connect directly with individuals who are exploring meaningful career pathways in healthcare and to highlight the rewarding opportunities available at Niagara Health,” said Amanda Basilone, Manager, Talent Acquisition, Niagara Health. “These events are an important way to build partnerships, strengthen our workforce pipeline, and engage with individuals who are passionate about making a difference in our community.”
In advance of the event, Career and Co-op Services has been offering a variety of preparation sessions and workshops to help students feel confident and ready to meet with employers. These supports include resume clinics, mock interviews, and sessions focused on networking and Career Fair success.
Students and alumni are encouraged to prepare in advance and develop a plan for their Career Fair experience by taking advantage of the services available through Career and Co-op Services, ensuring they put their best foot forward when connecting with potential employers.
