Previous Success of UOG Job Fairs
In spring 2024, the University of Guam hosted a job fair that drew more than 1,000 attendees. The event was well-received, and it provided an opportunity for students to connect with employers and explore career pathways. The Triton Advising Center maintained momentum by hosting two smaller networking events under the Career Voyage Internship Fair banner during the Academic Year 2024–2025. These events allowed students to connect with employer partners, learn about internship opportunities, and gain valuable insights into the job market.
