If you are an employer searching for a diverse, competitive, college-educated applicant pool, register now for the April 8, 2011 CUNY Big Apple Job Fair. Recruit for full- or part-time positions and internships.

This major university-wide recruitment event provides private and public sector employers with the unparalleled opportunity to source from the largest public urban university in the nation. During its twenty-two year history, the Big Apple's rating among organizations remains exemplary:

  • Over 92% consistently report meeting all of their recruitment objectives.
  • In any given year, at least 70% are return participants. The most telling of all statistics, this attests to the fair's established reliability as a quality recruitment source.

To quote some recent job fair employers:

  • "This was the most well-organized and productive job fair that I have been to this year." — New England Wealth Strategies
  • "The best fair we've attended in years..." — The Ford Foundation
  • "Very well-organized. Students were prepared and presented themselves professionally." — US Secret Service

Approximately 5,000 students and alumni of degree-granting programs - from CUNY's eleven senior colleges, six community colleges, the Graduate Center (CUNY's doctoral-granting graduate school), Macaulay Honors College, and the School for Professional Studies- will be attending the fair. Because this is a university-wide job fair, participants hold all majors and degrees, including Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, PhD's, and advanced professional degrees. You can confirm that CUNY has the major(s) and degree(s) matching your organization's recruitment needs by clicking on Majors and Degrees in the About CUNY section in the right column.

If an important objective for you is diversity recruitment, be advised that CUNY's student body reflects New York City's ethnic diversity. CUNY students are remarkably diverse, tracing their ancestries to 205 countries. African-American, white and Hispanic undergraduates each comprise more than a quarter of the student body, and Asians more than 15 percent. Forty-seven percent of undergraduates have a native language other than English.

Act now to reserve a space for your organization by registering on-line. This is an event you won't want to miss.

General Notice to readers of this site: No one accompanying CUNY students/graduates or seeking entry because they offer services, or want to observe, or speak with recruiters, will be admitted to the CUNY Big Apple Job Fair.

Sponsored by The City University of New York Office of University Relations and
