The All Majors Virtual Career Fair is brought to you by the Office for Student Success.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 27, 2021) — This week, the University of Kentucky will host an All Majors Virtual Career Fair for students from 2-6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 29. The All Majors Virtual Career Fair will be hosted through UK’s Handshake career management platform.

Students and alumni are strongly encouraged to register now and sign up in advance for individual and group sessions with participating employers. The virtual career fairs offer an important opportunity to network and personally connect with employers. Employers are interested in connecting with students from all academic majors, and they’re eager to share information with students about internships, co-ops and job opportunities, so students from all class years are encouraged to consider attending.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.   

In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
