Overview: Career Fairs

The UIS Career Development Center offers 3 annual career-related fairs to help connect students, alumni, and the community with employers and graduate programs.

Springfield Collegiate Career Fair

The annual Springfield Collegiate Career Fair is held each February and is an excellent opportunity for UIS and other area college students to meet, and network with employers who have jobs, internships, or other opportunities available now or in the future. The event is free for employers and for students and community members. Staff from UIS, Lincoln Land Community College, Robert Morris University, and Benedictine University in Springfield organize the fair each year.

Graduate & Professional School Fair

The Graduate & Professional school fair is generally held during the fall semester. It is open to any student, first year though current graduate students, who have questions about graduate or professional schools. Recruiters from many Illinois and surrounding areas are invited to host a booth and talk with interested students. Many UIS graduate school programs also attend this event.
