Each Sask Polytech career fair, presented by Student Employment Services, is a worthwhile opportunity for students to present themselves to organizations who are interested in recruiting talent before graduation. It is through this avenue that employers and students are brought together to meet for the first time and can create a network for future career exploration.
Join us in February for our annual Sask Polytech Career Fair at all main campuses.
