Attend a Career Fair
The Center for Career & Experiential Education hosts several career fairs and special events each year, in addition to other events which are hosted by specific academic departments or colleges. Career fairs are open to all URI students and alumni, and we encourage our employer partners to explore the many options available when deciding where you will find the candidates most appropriate for your opportunities.
You will find career fair registrations on Handshake by navigating to the “fairs” menu option. Check out this article for step by step instructions: How to Search for a Career Fair.
