Loyalist College will host its annual Career Fair on Thursday, February 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the cafeteria and gymnasium in the Kente Building. Many employers participate in the annual event, returning each year in search of Loyalist graduates to hire. The opportunity to meet so many students face-to-face and discuss the full-time, part-time and summer jobs available within their organizations benefits employers and students alike. The goal of the fair is to represent all of the College programs and allow students to talk with the representatives from the organizations and companies who are recruiting employees.
