University partners with college to host job fair

Over 100 employers are looking for University of Windsor students and graduates to fill positions throughout Canada and beyond at this year’s annual Job Fair.

Students and alumni from UWindsor and St. Clair College are invited to attend the event, Wednesday, Jan. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Sportsplex on the college’s Talbot Road campus.

“Employers at the Job Fair are looking to recruit students and alumni for full-time, part-time and summer positions,” said Sarah Overton, campus engagement co-ordinator in the Office of Experiential Learning. “It’s a great opportunity for students to make meaningful connections and market their skills to local, national, and international companies.”

The Career Development and Experiential Learning office is offering a free shuttle bus service to the job fair for all UWindsor students. Buses will depart from Vanier Circle approximately every 20 minutes beginning at 9:45 a.m. While waiting for the bus, students are invited to take part in a photo booth event where they can have a professional photo taken for their LinkedIN profile in Katzman Lounge, Vanier Hall.

Admission is free for students or alumni of either the University of Windsor or St. Clair College with valid ID. Students should dress professionally and bring several copies of their resume.

Overton asks that all faculty and staff encourage students to attend, register in advance, and download the app to access a full list of employers and learn about their hiring needs. Find more details at www.uwindsor.ca/jobfair.
