Which employers are allowed to present to what students?

All advertised positions have to comply with NAIT Career Posting Policies. Moreover, since most current apprentices studying at NAIT are sponsored by their employers to come for training, Employer Services cannot host employer information sessions with current apprentices.

Career fair

Does NAIT have a career fair?

While NAIT moved away from institution-wide career fairs in 2020, several units at NAIT host annual career-fair-like events for specific industries or programs.

On March 19, 2024 Career Services will host a NAIT Hiring Fair for NAIT graduating students and recent alumni.

What should I do if I attempt to log into Career Connect and get an alert that my account has been blocked?

If you are using a shared account with a colleague at work, Career Connect will only allow one person access the system at a time. The second person trying to use the same email and password will get an alert that their account has been blocked, even though it is active. This is a Symplicity software setting that we cannot change. For best cybersecurity practices, please create your own accounts and do not share them with colleagues. However, if you must share an account, try to coordinate with your colleagues, so you are not trying to log in and use Career Connect at the same time.
