Our inaugural Career and Job Fair featured 30+ companies seeking multiple employees! The fair provided a great opportunity for students and alumni to interact with hiring companies regarding the many career opportunities possibly available.
As we strive to provide our students with meaningful experiences that will enhance their career readiness, it takes the participation and coordination of the entire Pacifica community to provide the tools and pathways for the future.
Four Reason Why A Job & Career Fair are Important:
- Identify What Employers Want
- Networking Opportunities
- Researching Companies
- Test the Market
