Connect with Internships and Full-Time Positions at the Career Fair!

February is Career Fair Month at UNL! You can get connected with internships and full-time jobs from employers across fields and industries at the virtual University Career Fair, February 23-26, 2021.

Over four days, each targeted to different career pathways reflected in UNL majors, students and employers will meet to talk about a wide variety of career opportunities. This year, the Education Career Fair will also be held on February 26, connecting students with school districts and other employers. Employers have been registering for the Career Fair and setting up individual and group sessions for which students must sign-up. The Career Fair, including registering and signing-up for employer sessions, will again take place on the Handshake virtual platform.

  • Setting Up Yourself and Your Space for Success in a Virtual Fair
  • Preparing for a 1:1 Session v. a 30 Minute Group Session
