About the UNLV Career and Internship Fair

UNLV’s Career and Internship Fair is a dynamic event that brings together job seekers, students, and professionals with employers and organizations seeking to fill full-time positions and internship opportunities. These fairs offer a valuable platform for attendees to network, explore career options, and potentially secure employment or internships.

Participants can engage with recruiters, learn about various industries, submit resumes, and engage in interviews or informational sessions. These events play a crucial role in bridging the gap between job seekers and potential employers, facilitating connections that can shape individuals' career trajectories and contribute to workforce development.

Fairs are held in the fall and spring semesters to help employers connect with students and alumni from all disciplines and fields. Log in to or create an account on Handshake to register for upcoming fairs and events.

Fair Preparation

Leading up to the event, UNLV hosts several “Prepare for the Fair” events and mixers to prepare students for the day with resume review and interview techniques. Through our Rebel Employer Partner Program Education Series, we provide updates to our employers on changes to our student population and strategies for increased engagement. We encourage students and employers to attend these events to maximize their time during the Career and Internship Fair.

We highly recommend that your team attend one of our events. Event details for sessions and mixers are available in Handshake. Additionally, we encourage you to register for a campus tour to learn more about UNLV and our student population.
