Loyalist College is pleased to invite current students, alumni, and employers to the Annual Career Fair on Thursday, February 6th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Gymnasium of the Kente Building. More than 50 exhibitors, including regional and national employers, will be available to meet with students and alumni. They represent business and industry sectors directly related to the program training Loyalist students receive.
“Now in its 17th year, the Career Fair is highly anticipated for the networking opportunities it offers both employers and prospective employees,” said Loyalist College President Maureen Piercy. “Many of the employers return each year to fulfill staffing needs, ranging from full-time to part-time, as well as summer and temporary positions. Their ongoing support speaks to the success of the event, which is organized by our Career Centre to support students and alumni in their career exploration, planning, and development.”

The Loyalist College Career Centre offers everything from computers and Internet access for conducting job searches to assistance with résumé and cover letter creation. Career advisors work one-on-one with alumni and current students to help them prepare for part-time employment or a career. They also work within the classroom, helping students to complete a Career Development Certificate, which consists of four modules. One of the most popular programs provided through the Centre helps to hone an individual’s interview skills through mock interviews, customized for the individual’s program of study. Other services include the myCareer Portal, an online job posting service.
