Upcoming Events

The PICS Mega Job Fair is coming again! The Mega Job Fair has taken place for over 15 years and is a highly successful event in the Lower Mainland.  The purpose of the job fair is to reduce the stress and pressures both employers and job seekers face when job searching, recruiting, and networking. Thousands of attendees and numerous exhibitors participate each year, making this day a productive and fun-filled experience for everyone who attends. This event benefits both job seekers and employers. Job seekers can explore career options with employers such as retailers, restaurants, service providers, banks, credit unions, and crown corporations; while employers can meet and recruit motivated candidates. The event further serves as a great opportunity to network and build brand awareness. PICS Mega Job Fair 2023 will be a grand affair, and we look forward to seeing you there!

This Hiring Event will only have employers that will hire international students; therefore, they are starting with one barrier to employment removed. Hopefully this will lead to employment success.
