Faculty & Staff

Staff, faculty, and campus partners play a key role in promoting the Fall Career & Internship Fair and helping students prepare for the event. Use the resources below to post in student areas or share digitally. Please also share the Preparing for the Fair guide with students, which features campus Fair prep events, tips, and resources to help students get the most out of their experience.

When should you promote the Fair? For the spring, early January all the way through to the date of the Fair is a good window for general promotion.

Check back here in January for flyers, graphics, and slides.

Use and adapt this text when communicating with your students about the Career & Internship Fair on your website, in newsletters or emails, and on social media:

• The Fair is open to ALL enrolled UW-Madison students, plus recent alumni who graduated within the past two years. Any year. Any major.
• Learn about full-time jobs and internships across many interest areas and roles.
• Business casual attire is welcome!

Here are a few ways your students can ensure they’re totally prepared for the Fair:

• Make sure your Handshake profile is fully completed and accurate. Don’t forget to upload your resume and check out positions from employers attending the Fair.
• On each Fair Handshake event page you’ll be able to see employers attending.
• Need some help preparing for the Fair? Attend a prep night event from your school or college!
• You can also login to Handshake and search “Events” for a full list of prep events, workshops and networking events, and check out the Preparing for the Fair page on this website for tutorials, instructional videos, and more.
