The Division of Career Pathways hosts several career fairs each year. Career fairs are a great way for recruiters to meet talented and career-ready UCI students. Our quarterly career fairs provide you with the opportunity to recruit students for part-time, full-time, and internship positions.

For the 2020 – 2021 academic year we are excited to partner with Handshake to host our Virtual Career Fairs. For more information on Handshake’s virtual fair platform, click Here.
