Career Fair draws hundreds of students at U of L

The University of Lethbridge’s annual fall career fair took the interest of students and the public on Thursday at the Centre for Sports and Wellness.

Students were able to network with around 85 various organizations, with strong interest reportedly being shown in agriculture, accounting and nursing careers. The University says student hiring has become difficult in recent times, and events like these help students network for the future once they complete their studies.

The University has held a career fair every year since 1988, and a second event set for next term in January.
