Career & Transfer Fairs

group of people that attended the career fair

Houston Community College (HCC) is dedicated to fostering community engagement and enhancing career readiness through its Career & Transfer Fairs, which are open to both alumni and students.

These events serve as invaluable opportunities for networking with both employers and universities, allowing participants to establish connections that can significantly influence their career trajectories. We strongly encourage all alumni to regularly attend Career & Transfer Fairs, not only to expand their professional networks but also to contribute to a robust and supportive community.

Scheduled during the Fall and Spring semesters at various HCC campuses throughout the Houston area, these fairs provide a platform for meaningful interaction with employers and universities. To maximize their experience at these recruiting events, attendees are advised to prepare by researching participating companies, refining their resumes, and practicing their elevator pitches, ensuring they make the most of these essential networking opportunities.
