What is UniSQ's Online Career Fair?
UniSQ's Online Career Fair has been designed to promote graduate, internship, vacation work and work experience opportunities to our students and recent graduates. The event connects employers to UniSQ students in a virtual environment, replacing a traditional on-campus career fair this functionality still has all the perks of meeting and interacting with UniSQ students and graduates.
On 12 March 2020 from 10am - 1pm (AEST), representatives from your organisation will be able to login to their virtual booth to live chat (through text, audio or video) with UniSQ students and graduates.

What developments have been made since the 2018/2019 events?
From feedback provided from past participants, there have been a number of improvements made to the platform and the event, these include:
- Adding a filtering option for students to filter to the booths that match their discipline of study.
- Due to an earlier notice of funding we have been able to allocate more time towards promoting the event to students and academics.
- The technical difficulties that occurred with the chat function have been resolved.
- The event has been opened to internship and graduate opportunities, which students will also be able to filter by.
What support is available during the Online Career Fair chat period (12 March, 10am - 1pm AEST)?
The UniSQ Careers and Employability team will be available to provide assistance during the lead up and at the time of the event. The contact details will be provided closer to the event but will also be made available here.
An Exhibitor Guide is available and this will be updated with more specific information when Expressions of Interest close.
