“We are very proud to organize and offer these events for our students as well as members of our surrounding communities. They play such an important role in preparing the next generation of graduates for employment, and providing a vital platform for people to connect to industry partners and businesses for future opportunities,” says Karen Correa, Career Services & Work-Integrated Learning Coordinator, Olds College. “So much planning goes into these events, it is amazing to see the entire College come together to make it happen. We hope that those who attend the career fair leave with a renewed confidence, strong network connections and readiness for their future.”
