Employer Events

We offer a variety of employer events to support your campus recruitment. Based on your preference, you can host events that are in-person,  virtual,  or hybrid at Augustana Campus, Campus Saint-Jean or the U of A North Campus. We also can support you to customize your event, or even host students at one of your workplace locations.

Hosting an event through the Career Centre demonstrates your interest in recruiting from the U of A and provides an opportunity to connect directly with talented U of A students and alums. You will be able to:

• Share details about your current openings, hiring practices, workplace culture, and future growth opportunities with an interested audience of students and alum
• Raise your brand awareness on campus and address any questions from potential candidates
• Debunk myths about your industry or organization
• Network with students and alums directly and hear their perspectives

Please note:

• We do not organize any in-person recruitment events in December and April, due to conflicts with students’ schedules.
