Jobseekers, mark your calendars. �������ϲʿ��������ѯ College’s popular Business Expo & Employment Fair is back for its thirteenth year, once again connecting students and community members with a diverse array of employers from the �������ϲʿ��������ѯ and across the country.

The �������ϲʿ��������ѯ College School of Business and OC’s Student, Graduate and Co-op Employment Centre is presenting the 13th Annual Business Expo & Employment Fair on Wednesday, Feb. 5. The event is held at �������ϲʿ��������ѯ College’s Kelowna campus in the Centre for Learning (E building) Atrium from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The expo continues to grow year after year, notes Jamie Morrow, �������ϲʿ��������ѯ School of Business Program and Event Coordinator.

“We’ve got another incredible line up of exhibitors this year – more than 75 employers from a host of sectors. There really is something for everyone, no matter what field you’re looking to get into, or advance your career,” says Morrow.

This year, in collaboration with Accelerate �������ϲʿ��������ѯ, the Expo will feature an exciting new focus on technologies. A section of the expo is being devoted to tech sector employers, from start-ups to larger organizations.

“We’re calling it Tech Alley,” explains Morrow. “And the goal is to really shine a light on the booming tech sector we are so fortunate to have in the �������ϲʿ��������ѯ. Given the College’s focus on technologies, the fact that we’re training students for these careers, from business to computer science to engineering technologies, it’s obviously a natural fit for what we do. We hope it will benefit our students and alumni who are looking to chat with these and other employers.”

“The �������ϲʿ��������ѯ’s tech industry has grown so much over the last few years and it’s only going to keep going,” says Alex Goodhew, Community Manager for Accelerate �������ϲʿ��������ѯ.

“Companies are scaling their operations and expanding their team to match. Opportunities like �������ϲʿ��������ѯ College’s Expo provide a much-needed connection point between local companies and talented young professionals that can help fill those seats. Our tech industry is full of so many creative, innovation-focused companies, connecting them with OC’s students just makes sense.”

Participants will spot exhibitors from industries including municipalities, wine, law enforcement, hospitality, finance, construction, technologies, retail and more.
