Event
Careers Fairs
11 May 2026
Our Careers Fairs and Volunteering Expo events are designed to connect UC students with learning opportunities, potential employment, or volunteering opportunities, as well as provide valuable insights into different industries and roles.
HOW TO APPLY
At these events, you can expect to find booths or stalls staffed by representatives of different companies and organisations, who can answer your questions and share the exciting opportunities that they have to offer.
UC Careers Fairs help you meet recruiters and UC graduates to learn about their organisations’ job openings, graduate and intern programmes, career paths and company culture. You will also discover what skills and knowledge employers are seeking, helping you stay current with changes in the job market.
The Volunteering Expo gives you the chance to explore causes where your skills can make a real difference. Volunteering provides valuable work experience and expands your professional network, whether it’s in your field of study or a completely new area.
These events are free to attend, and we encourage all students to come along, regardless of your academic level.
