VANCOUVER, Wash. – Employers seeking motivated talent for today’s evolving job market are invited to connect with career-ready students and alumni during Washington State University Vancouver’s Career Fair Week, Feb. 24 – 26.
The three-day series offers targeted and all-campus recruiting opportunities, bringing employers face to face with students prepared for internships, part-time roles and full-time employment. Fairs will be held in the Firstenburg Student Commons on campus.
“Even in a slower hiring climate, employers tell us they value early connections with students who have practical skills and flexibility,” said Nicole Smith, employer engagement coordinator for the Carson College of Business. “Career Fair Week is an efficient way to meet candidates across multiple disciplines in just a few hours.”
Registration details Registration is required and available through Handshake. Fees are $200 for for-profit organizations and $150 for nonprofit and government organizations. The fee includes a 6-foot table, two recruiter registrations, parking passes and refreshments. Discounts are available for employers registering for multiple fairs. The registration deadline is Feb. 20.
