2024 Virtual Spring Career Fair – April 25th

WHAT: 2024 Virtual Spring Job & Internship Fair

DATE: Thursday, April 25, 2025

LOCATION: Virtual, via Handshake – https://app.joinhandshake.com/edu/career_fairs/47872

TIME: 11:30am – 3:00pm

A career fair is a connection opportunity for employers who have open roles and students who are currently in the job search phase. Virtual career fairs are hosted on an online platform; the UW Career & Internship Center uses Handshake, which offers students an opportunity to connect with employers in two ways: 30-minute Group Sessions and 10-minute 1:1 Sessions. Virtual career fairs are a great way for students to meet with representatives of companies that appeal to students’ majors, interests, and goals in a virtual setting, which can be less overwhelming and more efficient than in-person career fairs.

The 2024 Virtual Spring Job & Internship is open to all majors and years of study, including alumni of all three UW campuses and community members. 22 registered employers are actively recruiting Huskies for full- and part-time career and internship roles across all industries. Preview the list of currently-registered employers here, register for the fair, and browse open positions prior to attending.

We encourage students to update their Handshake profiles with recent job, volunteer and coursework experience, as well as a resume for employers to review.
