Co-op and Career Services Events Calendar

2026 Fall Career & Networking Fair
Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Time: 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Location: Ravens' Nest located in Alumni Hall

All Carleton students and grads are encouraged to attend the Fall Career & Networking Fair!

Whether you're in your first year, graduating, or alumni, the Career & Networking Fair is your chance to practice networking, learn about  employers, and explore opportunities. Employer lists will be posted closer to the event.

Why attend? 

• Practice builds confidence: Networking is a skill, and like any skill, it takes practice. The Career & Networking Fair is a professional-yet-approachable environment to start conversations, ask questions, and build confidence. 
• Explore opportunities: Learn about full-time, part-time, co-op, and future roles. Even if you're not job hunting now or an employer you're interested in isn't hiring at the moment, understanding what's out there helps you plan ahead. 
• Gain insight: Discover what different organizations do, what they value in candidates, and how you might fit in now or in the future. By chatting with a range of employers you can also identify valuable hiring trends.
• Grow your network: Make connections that could lead to mentorship, advice, or future opportunities. Every conversation is a step forward. 
• Convenient: Meet a wide range of employers that you may not normally have a chance to speak with, all without leaving campus. Drop in between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. as it fits your schedule (last check-in time is 2:45 p.m.).
