College of the North Atlantic (CNA) and Memorial University are again teaming up to host the 26th annual Career and Graduate School Fair.
Employers, organizations, government agencies and post-secondary institutions will be at the Field House on Memorial University’s St. John’s campus on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 110 local, national and international exhibitors will be in attendance.

Admission is free and attendees are reminded that they are required to show ID at the door.
Students and alumni are invited to network with organizations and industry leaders, who can, in turn, recruit attendees from two of the province’s public post-secondary institutions.
Memorial University and CNA have collaborated on this initiative since 2017, to offer a comprehensive career and graduate school event for students and alumni that also provides them a direct connection with exhibitors to discuss their employment and education needs, or help with career direction.
Dr. Jennifer Browne, Director of Student Life, at Memorial, says the fair is a great opportunity for students and alumni, of all disciplines, to network and make valuable career connections with employers and professional schools.
“There are opportunities for students across all programs to explore. Exhibitors are eager to connect about new graduate positions, summer jobs, co-op placements and graduate programs,” said Dr. Browne. “I encourage students and alumni to take advantage of this chance to meet with recruiters on campus and invest in their future.”
Jeff Martin, AVP Student Services at CNA, says the Career and Graduate School Fair is an event students will not want to miss.
“This is an opportunity for students to see what is possible after graduation and get a better sense of the paths available to them,” he said. “Having conversations directly with employers and graduate programs can help turn questions into possibilities and give students a clearer picture of what comes next. We are proud to partner with Memorial once again on an event that helps our students take that next step with greater confidence.”
