3. What is a Reverse Career Fair

4. Reversing Roles
While a traditional career fair encourages employers to set up booths and share the needs of their business and industry to students attending the event, the Reverse Career Fair reverses these roles, with students taking ownership.

5. Showcase the Student
This new concept requires the student to market their education, certifications, course projects, strengths, and career aspirations to the employers.

6. Connections
The goal of this event is to connect employers with students who will soon be in the job market, while providing students with the opportunity to develop their presentation, networking, and job search skills.
