Career & Internship Fairs
Attending a Fair
At a fair, you can discover a job you didn't know existed, learn which skills you need for specific positions, and network with a variety of companies. At the same time, employers can learn more about who you are and how you could fit in with their company.
You can register for fairs and learn more about which companies are attending on Handshake. Check out our Tips for Fair Success for how to make the most of your experience.
Some Career Success fairs are conducted virtually through the Handshake Virtual Fair Platform. For more information on how to use the platform, check out the resources below:
