NEWS RELEASE
NIAGARA COLLEGE
*************************
This February, Niagara College will once again be opening its doors to job seekers and employers alike at the College’s largest career event of the year.
Hosted by NC’s Career and Co-op Services department, NC’s Career Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 3 and 4 at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake and on Feb. 5 and 6 at the Welland Campus and is open to all NC students and alumni.
With more than 2,000 NC students and recent alumni job seekers expected to attend the Career Fair, participants are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity by handing out resumes, networking with potential employers, connecting with hiring managers and discovering what jobs are available in their intended field.
“Students and recent alumni are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to connect face-to-face with potential employers,” said Christina Farow, Director, Academic Advising and Career Services, Welland Campus. “In today’s digital age, job applicants don’t always get the chance to meet employers in-person. The NC job fair is a great way for job seekers to boost their confidence as they build connections while exploring the local job market.”
More than 100 employers are registered to attend this year’s event and are looking to recruit full-time, part-time, co-op and seasonal positions.
