POSTPONED – OTTAWA’S 1st STUFF JOB & CAREER FAIR

We have decided to POSTPONE the event scheduled for March 24th given the public health concerns around COVID-19. While this is disappointing, with 39 employers and close to 250 job seekers signed up, we feel that it is the best call at this time.

We are providing job seekers with the opportunity to share their résumé and let us know with which Job Fair employers they are interested in connecting (based on available positions). Please click here to upload your resume (in Word or PDF format) and let us know with whom you would like to share it.

Thank you for your interest in our event, and we will let you know when we are ready to move forward. Feel free to reach us by email at muftis@algonquincollege.com with any questions. We wish everyone the best in the coming weeks.
