Calgary Career Fair & Training Expo Canada is an in-person job fair and educational/training program fair where employers, recruiters, career services, and educational institutions gather in one place to communicate directly with candidates.

How to prepare to get the most out of it

  • Bring several copies of your resume (or QR code/link to PDF) and a short 20–30-second elevator pitch: who you are, what you can do, what kind of role you are looking for.
  • Come early (10:00–11:30 a.m.) — it's usually easier to talk to people without queues.
  • Make a list of 5–10 stands you want to visit first and prepare 2–3 questions (about requirements, start date, schedule, training/certification, next steps).
  • After the conversation, ask for contact details (LinkedIn/business card) and send a short thank-you message on the same day.
