Want in? We’ll send the form. Or stay invisible. (Your competitors won’t.)

What is a Reverse Career Fair, and why attend?
Instead of you setting up a booth, our co-op graduates will.
Walk the floor, visit student-hosted displays, and connect directly with candidates as they showcase their skills, work experience outcomes, and career goals — giving you insight that no algorithmic screening or AI-generated application ever could.
You're looking to build and maintain your talent pipeline, and we're going to ease the process for you.
Network and screen budding professionals with over 12 months of work experience from 11 different co-op programs. It’s about saving thousands in hiring costs and meeting the kind of career-ready people you want on your team.
Here’s some quick recruiter napkin math: The average cost-per-hire in Canada is $4,700. Even if this event helps you skip just 50% of those early-stage efforts — screening, sourcing, branding, outreach — that’s still over $2,000 saved per candidate.
Recruit graduates from the following co-op degrees:
- Accounting
- Computer Science
- Computer Information Systems
- Finance
- General Management
- Human Resources
- International Business
- Logistics & Supply Chain Management
- Marketing
- Social Innovation
