The UW-Milwaukee job and career fairs are a great way to meet with employers seeking students and alumni for part-time jobs, internships, and full-time career opportunities.
All Spring 2021 fairs will be held virtually in Handshake.

Sign-Up for Employer Sessions
Sign-up as soon as possible, however, check back regularly as employers may add sessions closer to the day of the fair.
Two types of employer sessions:
- 10-minute one-on-one sessions: Only you and the employer. Be prepared for your session – research the company, craft an elevator pitch, reflect on skills to talk about, and have questions to ask the employer.
- 30-minute group sessions: Employers present on their organization and career opportunities. You can ask questions during these sessions.
