UW Nursing & Health Professions Career Fair

• The next nursing career fair: Fall 2018-- Wednesday, October 24, 2018
  We hold our career fair once every year in the fall semester. Senior students are positioned in their capstone clinical experience for the entire spring semester, so that's why we don't have the career fair in the spring!  The fair will be held in the Union Ballroom on the University of Wyoming campus. Employers can register for the fair closer to the event by going to ACES (Advising/Career/Exploratory Studies Center) Job Fairs and Career Events page at http://www.uwyo.edu/aces/career-services/career-events.html.  Contact ACES if you have questions (aces@uwyo.edu or 307-766-2089).
• Last year's career fair: Fall 2017

What are the opportunities presented at the fair?

The fair presents an opportunity annually for students to visit with prospective employers about the variety of health professions job options awaiting them upon graduation. The agencies involved also can be considered for potential sites for clinical practicum experiences. If a student misses the fair, they can still contact the agencies through the information noted in the Virtual Recruiting Tool that will be developed following each on-campus fair (see link below for most recent recruiting tool).
