Glendale Community College is thrilled to announce its Annual Career Fair, set to take place on October 15, 2024, from 10 AM to 3 PM in the Student Center. This event promises to be a game-changer for students seeking internships, or full-time employment, bringing together local and national employers looking to recruit candidates from GCC.

This year’s Career Fair is designed to provide students with direct access to industry professionals across multiple majors, including healthcare, technology, education, and the arts. Participating companies range from established corporations like Dignity Health to innovative startups and nonprofit organizations, all looking to tap into the diverse talent pool at GCC.

“I’ve been waiting to attend an event just like this, where I can show employers what I can really do and what I am capable of,” said Alex Gonzalez, a GCC student. “This fair not only helps me network with potential future employers but also gives me a peak at the competitive job market.”

The event will host several workshops throughout the day, covering essential topics like resume building, interview techniques, and effective networking strategies. These sessions, led by career development experts, will help students refine their job search skills and gain confidence before meeting employers.

Additionally, attendees will have the chance to participate in employer sessions, where select companies will present information about their organization, culture, and job opportunities. This intimate setting allows students to ask questions and gain deeper insights into what employers are looking for in potential hires.

The Career Fair is not just an opportunity for students to find job openings; it is also a chance to learn about internships and volunteer positions that can better their resumes and provide valuable work experience. Students are encouraged to come prepared with copies of their resumes and dressed in professional attire, ready to make a great impression.

GCC’s Annual Career Fair is free for all students and alumni, and community members are also welcome to attend. Food trucks will be available onsite to keep everyone fueled throughout the day, and attendees can enjoy live music as they network and explore job opportunities.
