AUCA Career Fair 2024!!!

April 30, 2024

The AUCA Career Development Center hosted Career Fair 2024 on April 19th, gathering students, alums, and employers for networking, learning and having fun!

The Career Fair event was not just another networking event. It was a unique experience for everyone, featuring guest lectures, exciting activities and the chance to win amazing prizes. This year twenty sponsoring companies and nine event partners created an incredible atmosphere at the AUCA front yard. This year the AUCA Career Development Center achieved a milestone by securing $12,500 in funding! Out of the $12,500, as much as $6,500 will be dedicated to the AUCA Alumni Scholarship Fund, ensuring continued support for our exceptional students in the upcoming academic year.

AUCA President Timothy O'Connor kicked off the event with a welcoming speech - " The Career Fair is a special event that brings back AUCA alumni to their alma mater. This year 18 AUCA alumni are involved in the fair through sponsor and partner organizations, contests and career presentations. Thank you for your continued support and efforts to make AUCA a great place to build careers and professional lives." After the opening ceremony, students had the chance to visit different booths set up by companies. Each booth's representatives provided information about their company's culture, job opportunities and requirements.

Apart from networking opportunities there were also competitive activities such as the annual "Sales Start Contest" and "Creativity Contest." This year the prize pool exceeded last year's three times and amounted to $2,500 compared to the previous year's $800! One of the new additions to the contest list was a "Speed Dating" dynamic platform that facilitates meaningful connections between students and prominent, experienced alumni, exposing students to valuable insights on structured interaction, mentorship opportunities, and career guidance.

The Career Fair 2024 was a testament to AUCA's commitment to providing its students with a platform for finding a future employer, helping students find the job of their dreams and allowing students to choose their future career paths. Thanks to all who came to the Career Fair and may development be with you!
