Find Your Next Job at a Toronto Career Fair Near You

 

In large halls or convention centres, employers set up tables and booths where they display hiring opportunities and helpful information about their companies. Job seekers chat with potential employers and meet other professionals on the same career path.

This is called a career fair. If you’re looking to do some networking, learn about the labour market, and even find your next job, a career fair is a great option.

What’s the difference between a career fair and a job fair?

A career fair usually caters to a single career path or area of expertise, while a job fair may be more general.

For example, the Supply Chain Career Fair on December 21^st is great for students who are studying Supply Chain Management – Global Logistics, but not for students looking for a part-time job. These students might be better off attending a more general job fair.

Check out our list below for some job fairs you might want to attend in the coming months.
