More than 100 employers to attend U of W job fair

University of Windsor and St. Clair College students preparing to enter the world of work will benefit from a massive job fair Jan. 24.

“This is our biggest one yet,” said Yvonne Currie, the university’s career development co-ordinator.

A long list of 123 employers will be exhibiting at the St. Denis Centre, including manufacturing firms, tech companies, financial institutions and public service agencies.

From Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare to Windsor CrossFit, there are potential positions in a wide variety of fields.

Currie said the university and the college have teamed up annually to host the recruitment event for the past 19 years.

“Whether you want to have conversations about active employment opportunities or you just want to build your network and gather information about what skills employers are looking for — it’s really important to get that face-time with employers,” Currie said.

Current and former University of Windsor and St. Clair College students are the focus: Admission is free for those with valid student identification.

Online pre-registration is recommended (via www.uwindsor.ca/cces/job-fair). However, students will also be able to register at the door.
