UWF Career Week
University of West Florida (UWF)
Career Week provides our employers the opportunity to maximize their recruitment efforts and target student populations by college. In one week, we’ll target Healthcare & Education, STEM, and Business & Humanities on separate days, allowing for concentrated, intentional marketing while creating a comprehensive “buzz” around Career Week. We also host the events in academic buildings so you can meet the students where they already are!
