UC Merced’s Center for Career and Professional Advancement and the Office of Student Involvement are partnering to host a Fall Bobcat Reverse Career Fair and Leadership Showcase. At the event, student clubs and organizations set up booths staffed by student leaders while EMPLOYERS visit with club members by walking around the event. REVERSE CAREER FAIR AND STUDENT LEADERSHIP SHOWCASE In Person Treks are generally scheduled during Winter and Spring Breaks while Virtual Career Treks can be scheduled during the Fall and Spring semesters. Hosting a student group during these treks gives students an opportunity to showcase their skills and gain exposure to career industries. Students hear from employers about their professional journeys and the pathways they followed to career success. We take students on industry-specific recruiting trips to regions within California.
CAL EXPO JOB FAIR UPDATE
If you would like to post a position, view applications, request an event, schedule interviews, register for career fairs, or update students about your organization, you can do so by creating an account in Handshake, then creating an employer profile for your organization. By creating an account and familiarizing yourself with our students online, you can make the most of recruiting at UC Merced. Handshake is our online one-stop-shop which offers employers the opportunity to share their brand and opportunities with students. Please contact a member of our Employer Relations team to inquire about engagement modalities and to schedule your recruiting activities.

We anticipate resuming on-campus offerings according to University guidelines regarding in-person activities on campus. We look forward to hosting virtual and hybrid versions of these activities in the Fall semester. Engagement Opportunities have been adapted to the virtual environment which remains a delivery modality. After all, today’s UC-educated students are tomorrow’s corporate decision-makers, buyers, civic leaders, community organizers, scientific partners and investors. When they do, they’ll understand your values and why your company excels. Let students get hands-on with your brand, meet you, learn from you and share it with their friends. Whether you’re focused on health care, energy, finance, entrepreneurship, engineering, social impact, sustainability, technology, policy, media-or another industry-we’ve got someone for you to meet. Hundreds of companies come on campus to recruit, while thousands more engage virtually. We have strong relationships and innovative partnerships with organizations across a range of industries and interest areas-from big names to boutiques. The UC Merced Student Career Center (SCC) is the campus hub of career-building opportunities and conduit to the employer community.
