Some Opportunities Include:

  • Hiring a new graduate
  • Hiring a co-op or internship student
  • Supervising a short term (unpaid) applied placement for academic credit
  • Participating in a career fair

Company Information Sessions tend to be busiest September-October, or January-February. If you are interested in booking space on campus for your session please contact us early. For smaller sessions we may be able to book classroom space for you, pending availability. For larger venues with catering a separate fee will apply. Company Information Sessions typically run from 5:30-7:30pm, Monday-Thursday.

McMaster University hosts an annual on-campus Career Fair every September, and a second Career Fair every February in downtown Hamilton, in partnership with Mohawk College, Redeemer University, and Workforce Planning Hamilton.
