Career Fairs at UNL

About Our Career Fairs

University Career + Internship Fair

Fall | Spring | $275-$575 | Multiple days | City & East Campus

This signature career fair occurs over the course of a week and encompasses a wide variety of majors. To know which day is best for you to attend, choose the day(s) of the week with the focus area(s) that most closely aligns with your hiring needs. Focus areas will be announced on our website as each career fair season approaches. Employer registration is always open before student registration, so Career Services is unable to guarantee specific major attendance on any given career fair day.
