WVU departments and units that plan to hire student workers or Federal Work-Study students for fall positions are invited to participate in the Back-to-School Job Fairs hosted by WVU Career Services as part of Welcome Week.

The first fair — open only to hiring WVU units — will be held Thursday (Aug. 21) and the second fair — open to WVU and local employers — will be held Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Both fairs will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Mountainlair, Vandalia Lounge.

This is an excellent opportunity to meet and recruit talented students eager to contribute to the University community.

Register to participate in the fairs. 

Supervisors with available positions, whether eligible for Federal Work-Study or not, are encouraged to post job opportunities on Handshake by completing the Student Employment Job Posting Request Form

Handshake serves as the University’s comprehensive career management system, allowing all students to search and apply for various employment opportunities.

We look forward to your participation and to helping our students find meaningful employment this fall.
