- Learn about future employment opportunities from networking employers
- Discover a range of organizations – small, medium and large – to see if you would be a good fit

Employers that may be of interest to students in the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs include: Canadian Museum of History, Communications Security Establishment, Department of Justice, Export Development Canada, National Capital Commission, Ontario Public Service, Public Safety Canada, Public Service Commission of Canada, RCMP, and more.
Many employers will encourage students to apply to employment opportunities through the mySuccess job board or their organizations’ job portals. At the Career & Networking Fair, you can drop by the Resume Review Station for a short on-the-spot resume check-up to make sure you’re submitting a strong application. It is encouraged to have a paper copy on hand for the review. Anyone attending the Career & Networking Fair is encouraged to attend the Prepare for the Fair events on January 29 (Building a Strong LinkedIn Profile and Cultivating Your Online Network) and January 30 (Practicing Your Networking Skills and Techniques). Registration for Prepare for the Fair will open in early December.
