A priceless benefit of being a student at a college or university in the University System of Georgia (USG) is the opportunity to attend job fairs. Job fairs often attract companies to campuses who are eager to hire upcoming graduates. Taking advantage of these events while still a student can provide you with opportunities that may be harder to find later.
Even if attending a job fair doesn’t lead directly to employment, the experience of networking and talking to recruiters will be beneficial.
Below is a list of just some of the job fairs scheduled for Fall 2024 across the USG. If you’re institution is not listed, check the career services page on your institution’s website. New information for fall fairs may be forthcoming.
