Whether you’re an engineer, work in marketing, or are a student, job fairs are a great way to get out in front of hiring managers and see what opportunities are out there. This September, Career Fair Canada is back in Vancouver with a giant career fair and training expo that’s completely free to attend.

It’s time to polish up your resumes, job seekers!

Taking place on Wednesday, Sept. 16, the Vancouver hiring fair will have tons of career advancement opportunities that span across industries and roles, giving those who are looking to pivot to something new the chance to connect directly with employers.

The event also serves as a training expo where attendees can learn how to fill any experience or education gaps they may have. Training exhibitors will be onsite to provide more information on the credentials and skills they can attain to put themselves ahead of the curve, and which development programs are best for them.

Here are the exhibiting employers attending the upcoming career fair (so far):

Calgary Police Service
Career City College
Dignity Memorial
DMS Mechanical Ltd.
Langara College
Support Worker Central
The Career Foundation
Union Gospel Mission

No matter if you’re looking for your next full-time role, a part-time gig, or want to network with prospective employers, this career fair is a great chance to get all your questions answered.

The upcoming job fair will take place in the Crystal Pavilion Ballroom at Pan Pacific Vancouver on Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If you’re looking for an event that’s geared more towards newcomers to Canada, consider checking out this career fair later this year. In addition to learning about available jobs from onsite employers, there will be immigrant consultants and lawyers attending who can help you navigate the legal requirements of working in Canada and understand your rights.

Good luck, job seekers!
