Find employers at a job fair
Wrenford Polytechnic hosts regular job fairs throughout the academic year. This is a calendar of on-campus and virtual recruitment events where students can meet potential employers. Whether you are looking for a co-op work term, a part-time job, or a full-time career after graduation, these events connect you directly with hiring managers and industry professionals.
Who should attend
- Students in any program who need a work term as part of their curriculum.
- Students seeking part-time employment while they study.
- Recent graduates looking for their first full-time role in their field.
You do not need a specific major to attend. Employers come to these fairs to meet students from the School of Business & Media, the School of Health Sciences, the School of Computing & Academic Studies, and all other schools on campus.
How to prepare and attend
- Check the event calendar. Dates, times, and locations for all upcoming fairs are posted on the Co-op & Career Services portal. Some events are held in person at the Student Union Building or the Kestrel Centre, while others are virtual.
- Register in advance. Create a profile in myWrenford and sign up for the specific fair you want to attend. Registration usually closes 48 hours before the event.
- Prepare your materials. Bring printed copies of your resume. If you do not have one yet, book an appointment to prepare your resume with a career coach.
- Research the employers. Review the list of attending companies beforehand. Pick five or six that match your interests and write down questions to ask.
- Attend the fair. Dress in business casual attire. Bring a notebook to take notes. Introduce yourself, hand over your resume, and ask about the hiring process.
Fees and deadlines
There is no fee to register or attend a job fair. Registration for the event closes 48 hours before the start time. If you are a co-op student, remember that you must secure a placement and sign the co-op work term agreement at least 30 days before your term begins. Attending a job fair early in the term gives you the best chance to find a placement on time.
