IN-PERSON CAREER FAIR - September 21–24, 2021


Huskers can connect with over 130 employers recruiting for internships and full-time positions at the University Career Fair on September 21-24. Each day is focused on different career interest pathways.

The first three days - September 21, 22, and 23 - are scheduled for 12 to 4 p.m. in the Nebraska Union on city campus. The final day of the fair is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. September 24 at the Nebraska East Union on east campus.

Student registration for the In-Person Career Fairs is open now on Handshake.

Attendees should also download the Career Fair+ app, where employers are listed and the details on their opportunities. The app provides a map for each day of the career fair and will help students plan their route for each day. Contact information for employer representatives is available in the app as well.

A professional photographer will be on site each day of the career fair to take photos of participating Huskers.
