Admission is free and open to the public. No pre-registration is required. All students are welcome to attend each day.
“Our goal is to connect qualified students to employers who are searching for specific majors and skill sets,” said Dr. Regina Allen-Sharpe, Senior Director, Wilmington University Career Services & Student Life. “We encourage every student to show up, be prepared, be outgoing and understand they will have more time to spend with employers who are focused on their majors.”
Employers from all over Delaware and the surrounding region will be on campus each day to interview and hire students based on their degrees and career aspirations.
Tuesday, March 22
Hiring employers will be on hand to meet and interview students from the College of Business and the College of Arts and Sciences.

Students will have a brief amount of time to speak with the attending Career Fair employers. Students should be able to introduce themselves to every employer they speak to and include a brief summary of their most important qualifications in a conversational tone. Each attending student should be familiar with the employers attending their particular job fair, especially those that are of the most interest.
