Career Showcase, our hallmark career fair, is designed to help you find talented students and alumni for your organization. The largest career fair in the southeast, Career Showcase is a two-day event that brings together students and employers for in-person networking and recruiting. Each day is streamlined towards professions in different areas with day one as non technically focused, including business, non-profits, government, social services, hospitality, retail, etc and day two is focused around careers in technical fields, engineering, I.T., healthcare, construction, and more. In fall 2021, over 5,000 students from non-technical and technical fields attended Career Showcase to network with over 300 employers. A hiring manager’s dream, it’s easy to find your future talent at Career Showcase.
