The DCU Careers Service will host over 100 companies and organisations for this year\u2019s Careers Fair, showcasing employment opportunities to Dublin City University\u2019s final year Undergraduate and Postgraduate students.<\/p>\n
The Careers Fair is taking place in the Helix on Monday, 6 October, and Tuesday, 7 October, and gives students the opportunity to meet prospective employers, learn about their companies, graduate jobs schemes, and explore future options.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Careers Fair is divided up into two days:<\/p>\n
Monday, 6 October: Business, Accounting, Finance and Law<\/p>\n
Tuesday, 7 October: Science, Technology and Engineering<\/p>\n
This event contributes to the high level of graduate employability in DCU as highlighted in our latest Graduate Outcome Survey results from this year, which indicates that 92% of DCU students are in employment or further study six to nine months after graduation. We are delighted that EY is the main sponsor of this year\u2019s Careers Fairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yvonne McLoughlin, DCU Head of Careers Service explains:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year’s Careers Fair is more than just a job expo; it’s a direct link between our students and future employers. Bringing over 100 employers to campus across two days – one for\u00a0Business, Accounting, Finance and Law on 6th October, and the other for\u00a0Science, Technology and Engineering on 7th October\u00a0– are creating a unique space for students to have meaningful, face-to-face conversations. This is where they can ask specific questions, gain insights into graduate programmes, a variety of job opportunities and discover what it’s truly like to work for these top companies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Students are encouraged to do their research before attending the Fair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Careers Fair is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable insights into the variety of jobs and opportunities that their degree can lead to, which in turn can help them make more informed career choices,\u201d says DCU Careers Consultant Venita Murphy.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents will get the chance to network with employers and find out about their companies and the job roles they are advertising. It is important that students prepare for attending the Fair by doing their research on the companies beforehand to allow them to have more focused discussions on the day and help them decide what companies they would like to apply to. These interactions will also strengthen their future job applications.\u201d Ms Murphy added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
