Career Fairs & Employer Info Sessions
The College hosts several career fairs, meet-ups, and other programs and events to connect you with talented and diverse CofC students for networking and recruitment.
The Spring Career Exploration Expo will take place on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 from 12:00-4:00pm at the Gaillard Center.
This is one of the largest on-campus events for students, serving as the primary recruiting event for employers seeking to increase their visibility on College of Charleston's campus. This event attracts roughly 600 undergraduate, graduate and alumni from all academic majors and degree levels including liberal arts, tech, business, sciences and more.
This year, we will have a strong focus on helping students explore their career interests. Students will be able to learn about job shadowing, internships, and part-time & full-time opportunities to make the most out of their time as students and be ready to launch their careers! I invite you to consider our Career Exploration Expo Sponsorships.
