Employment Opportunities & Resources

We provide a variety of opportunities for MSC students and alumni to meet and connect with employers to learn about career fields, job opportunities, and employment practices.

Career Fairs

The Advising & Career Center hosts three Career Fairs annually. The Fall Employment Fair is geared towards Mesa State students and features full-time, part-time, and seasonal employment, as well as internship opportunities. The Spring Career Connections Fair, held in March, is open to MSC students as well as the community. Featured are a variety of employers and employment and internship opportunities. We host an Employer Panel before the Career Connections fair. In this session job seekers have the opportunity to learn about employers and about the various hiring practices. The Teacher Fair, held in April, offers a forum for teacher candidates to connect with a number of school districts about employment opportunities and information. **Employment Readiness Workshops are offered throughout the year, as well as before fairs to assist students in preparing for Career Fairs.
