Attend a Career Fair
UConn hosts numerous career fairs each year, many through the Center for Career Development. The Center hosts the university’s two largest fairs in the fall – STEM and All-University; an Internship & Co-op Fair and a Careers for the Common Good Job Fair in February and a Spring Fair in March. In addition, many UConn schools and colleges as well as regional campuses host fairs throughout the year. Registration and more information on fairs can be found on Handshake.
