The Government, Public and Social Services, Health and Wellness Fair provides an opportunity for students and alumni interested in these career paths to connect with employers from these fields. There is no fee for candidates to attend and preregistration is not required.

Students/Candidates: Log in to your Huskies Get Hired (Symplicity) account, go to events, select the event you're planning to attend and then select the Attend tab. This is how you let employers know you're planning to attend and where you can see the list of employers currently registered and start your research.
