Policy on recruitment agencies: It is the policy of the UCD Career Development Centre not to permit recruitment agencies to exhibit at careers fairs except in certain circumstances. When entry to any profession at graduate level is generally via vacancies advertised by specialist recruitment agencies, the Career Development Centre reserves the right to engage such agencies in a range of strategies that enhance UCD students' access to a specific profession. Such strategies may include permitting specialist recruitment agencies to exhibit at targeted careers fairs.

UCD Business, Finance & Management Careers Fair
|
Date: Thursday 4 October 2012, 12:00 - 16:00 Venue: Rendez Vous, Restaurant Building, Belfield Campus
This is the inaugural UCD Business, Finance and Management Careers Fair. It has been introduced in response to employer feedback suggesting that our traditional general Careers Fair did not allow employers to target the student groups they are interested in. As a result we have split the general fair into two, the Business, Finance and Management Careers Fair and the Science, Engineering and Technology Careers Fair. The UCD Business, Finance and Management Careers Fair will be advertised and promoted to UCD students across all academic disciplines. We are anticipating in excess of 40 exhibitors and 1000+ students at this event.
