Engineering Career Fair draws hundreds

A career fair dedicated to engineering provided hundreds of University of Windsor students an opportunity to engage with local employers as they prepare to transition into the workforce, June 1 in the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.

In collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering, the Department of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships hosted its first career fair for new grads and soon-to-be grads seeking employment in the engineering industry. More than 430 students equipped with resumés met with 19 employers.

“Connecting employers to our career-ready students is very important to us, so we are thrilled with the outcome of our Engineering Career Fair,” says event organizer Sarah Overton, a campus engagement co-ordinator in the university’s department of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships. “We look forward to building on the success of this event in the future.”

The free event included a LinkedIn photo booth and more than 40 representatives from industry. View photos from the event on the UWindsor Engineering Facebook page.
