UNOH to Host Annual Fall Career Fair for Students & Alumni

The University of Northwestern Ohio’s Annual Fall Career Fair will occur on October 8th, 2024, in the UNOH Event Center. Open to all current students and alumni, this event will connect local, regional, and national companies with nearly 3,000 potential employees from various programs. The Career Fair will run from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and again from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., providing attendees ample time to meet and network with over 70 well-known companies seeking talent across multiple industries.

This year’s Career Fair will feature employers looking to hire students from the following disciplines:

• Automotive Technology

• High-Performance Motorsports
• Robotics & Automation
• Agricultural Technology
• HVAC/R
• Hybrid/Electric Vehicle Technology
• Accounting
• Business
• Human Resources

Career fairs play a crucial role in bridging the gap between students and the workforce. They offer students the opportunity to meet potential employers face-to-face, develop networking skills, and explore career options within their fields of study. With the chance to distribute resumes and set up formal interviews, students gain invaluable experience in the job search process, while employers can directly access top talent.

“The Annual Career Fair is one of the most important events we hold at UNOH,” said Jake Hixenbaugh, Director of Career Services at UNOH. “Not only does it give students the chance to engage with companies from across the country, but it also helps our graduates secure employment in their chosen fields. Career fairs provide students with insight into the current job market and help them better understand what employers are looking for.”

UNOH offers lifetime job assistance to all graduates, and the Career Fair is a vital component of this ongoing support. By facilitating connections between students, alumni, and industry professionals, UNOH ensures its graduates are well-equipped to enter the workforce confidently.
