Participant Information
Career and Government Fairs
Students from all academic majors and class levels, alumni, and community members attend the career fairs. This fair is for employers recruiting for full-time, part-time, internship, co-op, or volunteer positions. The focus of the fairs is on graduating seniors seeking full-time professional positions. However, we educate students to begin their research early to prepare for the time they will graduate and begin their job searches. Therefore, you will see employee candidates, as well as those seeking information about your businesses and services.
Employer Participants
Please note that reservations are limited to employers with a direct employer/employee relationship. This policy excludes third party recruiters, independent contractor positions and testing organizations.
These organizations may not participate:
- Organizations hiring anonymously for independent contractor positions
- Organizations that require candidates to pay a fee for training, equipment, application procedures or other job-related expenses or any monetary investment (this does not apply to federal or state licensing requirements)
- Staffing agencies* - unless these conditions are met:
- Third party recruiter fee is $750.00
- Confirmation of registration is dependent upon availability of space; therefore your organization will be placed on a waitlist until two weeks before the fair. Registration will be confirmed at this time if space permits.
- Staffing agencies must provide a job listing for each available position through the registration process on Career Connection. Additional information may be requested.
- We will provide information to students identifying your organization as a staffing agency.
- No fees or expenses are required from the student (e.g. no purchase of kit or merchandise is required, etc.)
Employers who recruit at Sacramento State must adhere to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) guidelines, California State Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) Law, and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles for Professional Conduct.
Career Fair Day-At-A-Glance
| 7:30am - 9:30am | Recruiter check-in and setup | |
| 8:00am - 10:00am | Breakfast | |
| 10:00am - 2:00pm | Fair open | |
| 11:30am - 1:30pm | Lunch | |
| 2:00pm -3:00pm | Fair closes (representatives may break down displays) |
Please do not tear down your display, pack your materials or leave before the close time (2pm). Students expect to be able to reach you until then. Packing early interrupts the fair atmosphere, as well as discourages students that have classes and cannot attend the fair until the afternoon.
