Employer Services FAQ

Elevate your recruitment efforts by hosting a virtual or in-person event at NAIT. NAIT students have a wide range of skills and expertise across various industries. Whether you're looking for future engineers, healthcare professionals, business leaders, or creative minds, NAIT has it all.

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.

Consider checking NAIT academic schedule to avoid booking during the breaks or when students have other priorities, such as tuition deadline or final exams.

Register or log into NAIT Career Connect. On the left, under “Events”, select “Information Sessions” and click the navy “Request Information Session” button. Fill in as many details as possible. Please note: Requests must be received at least three weeks prior to your preferred event date. This is a mandatory requirement for all employer information sessions and recruitment requests to ensure we can plan and market the event accordingly.

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. Student Clubs operating through the NAIT students’ association often run industry-specific career events and the Career Services department hosts an annual Hiring Fair in the winter term. More information about the Hiring Fair can be found at NAIT Hiring Fair. This event is aimed at NAIT graduating students and recent alumni.

Employers' accounts are reviewed and approved before career postings are made available to students. We encourage the use of a corporate or company email if available. This will assist in identifying legitimate employers in our system and expedite the process your account request.

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.
