Career Fairs

OSU-Cascades Career Fairs

Upcoming Cascades Career Fairs

2024 Spring Career Fair: Thursday, April 25th from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. | Location: Ray Hall Atrium

Registration for the Career Fair is by invitation only. Space is limited and we want to host an event that reflects regional employment opportunities that students are currently looking for. We are looking to invite employers that meet the following criteria:

  • Located in Central Oregon and provide employment in Central Oregon (Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook Counties).  Employers from outside of the Central Oregon region are encouraged to attend the OSU Corvallis Career Fairs that serve a wider geographic region.
  • Looking to employ undergraduate students, recent graduates, and students graduating this year from an undergraduate program. This event is not designed to serve employers looking to hire graduates from the OSU-Cascades graduate programs (Counseling, Teaching, Physical Therapy, or Fine Arts).
  • Looking to hire employees or support internships now or in the near future (within 6 months for hiring or 12 months for internships). Students coming to this event are looking for employment or internship opportunities now or in the near future (part-time work, summer jobs, and jobs for recent graduates). We host separate Networking Events for employers that are not currently looking to hire but want to support career exploration and network with students.
  • All undergraduate years & all undergraduate majors: We actively invite all students, from first year students to students nearing graduation, to attend recruitment events.

If you would like to be considered for an invitation to the Spring Career Fair, please complete the Industry Career Fair Interest Form.

Corvallis Career Fairs

The Career Development Center in Corvallis hosts several career fairs each term in addition to virtual career fairs throughout the year.

  • If you would like to be considered for an invitation to the Spring Career Fair, please complete the Industry Career Fair Interest Form.
  • Upon completion of the Interest Form (above), employers will receive an invitation to officially register for the event via Handshake.

    • We are requiring invited employers to officially register in Handshake because Handshake is the employment platform for OSU-Cascades students and alumni. Please post your employment and/or internship opportunities in Handshake so students can explore options before and after the career fair.

    • If you are new to Handshake, you will need to create an employer account.

    • Please email the OSU-Cascades Career Development Center, if you are no longer able to attend the fair. We have an industry waitlist and we want to offer your space to another employer.

  • For lodging options, please see the local listing at Visit Bend.

  • Please DO NOT send materials to the Career Development Center office. We are unable to accept, store, or transport employer materials to the event location.
  • Each employer will be provided with a 5 foot x 2 foot table and 2-4 chairs.
    • If you are bringing upright banners or other marketing tools, they need to be free-standing as well as fit behind the table and chairs.
    • Please ensure your displays will not impede event traffic or the space of your neighbors at the career fair.
  • Feel free to bring a tablecloth or banner that can hang from your assigned table.
  • Feel free to bring company swag (draws students to your table).
  • Students expect employers to bring business cards as well as job description handouts that highlight employment or internship opportunities.  We encourage you to bring enough to hand out to interested students.

  • If you have requested access to electricity, we will do our best to accommodate your request, but with limited access we cannot guarantee that it will be available.

  • Wi-Fi is available on campus. Please keep in mind that many employers and students will be utilizing Wi-Fi access during the event, and speeds may be compromised. If you require high speed internet, we suggest that you explore other options of accessing the internet.
