TRU Job Fair
In 2024, we had 110 employers and more than 3,500 students. We are excited to announce that this year marks twenty-five years of CEL at TRU.
Community, provincial and national organizations are recruiting students and new graduates from every program area including arts, business, education, health, journalism, science, social work, tourism and trades. These roles vary from full-time and part-time ongoing work to seasonal summer employment and volunteer opportunities.
The TRU Job Fair provides a platform for students to network, access employment and volunteer opportunities and learn more about careers in health, IT, finance and banking, accounting, tourism and trades. Participating employers will also receive promotional considerations throughout the campaign.
