Employer information

Keep the conversation going when sourcing top talent by attending the USQ Careers Fair

The 2010 USQ Careers Fair will be held on Thursday 25 March 2010 at the Toowoomba campus.

The USQ Careers Fair is a major career event that allows employers from across Australia and internationally to profile their organisation and promote various career opportunities to USQ students. Whether you are looking to fill graduate, vacation, work experience or other graduate positions, the 2010 USQ Careers Fair will connect you to our student cohort. 
 
USQ operates two types of Careers Fairs – a traditional on-campus Careers Fair and an internet based e-Careers Fair.

On-Campus Careers Fair

 
The traditional on-campus Careers Fair always attracts worthy candidates for graduate programs.  You have an opportunity to talk to students and join with other employers who present their organisation in a busy market atmosphere.
 
The Toowoomba on-campus Careers Fair will be held in the Clive Berghofer Recreation Centre in 2010 to allow for larger booth space and ease of student traffic. The USQ Careers Fair is a professional forum designed to allow interaction with potential employees and the distribution of company literature. It is a great chance to speak directly with graduands, answer enquiries from interested students and promote the job opportunities available within the organisation.
 
In 2010 a free bus service will be available to our Fraser Coast and Springfield campus students, which will increase exposure at the USQ Careers Fair.

  • Booth area: 2.4 wide x 1.2d eep (option to upgrade)
