Each organisation will have a 3m x 2m space, including a covered 4ft trestle table, 2 chairs, and a single power point. If you need additional power points, please bring a socket board and extension cable. All items must fit within your allocated space, and arrangements for transporting large items should be made accordingly.
If you have any additional requirements or concerns about setup time, access, space, or dietary needs, please email careersfairs@qub.ac.uk in advance.
The careers fair is a valuable opportunity to showcase your company to potential new recruits, representing a diverse student body including various fields of study, nationalities, LGBTQIA+ identities, and those that are neurodiverse or that have a disability.
Equip your staff to handle enquiries effectively, ensuring they are knowledgeable about your recruitment practices and are familiar with this document.
Key topics to cover include:
• Your recruitment process;
• Available Roles;
• International student post-study work visas (see Resources for Employers)
• Your Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy.
In supporting the diverse needs of our students, the Spring Careers Fair 2026 features a period of ‘quiet time’ from 2.00pm-2.30pm, when numbers will be restricted and noise levels reduced. Please ensure, during this time, that you remain at your stand until 2.30pm.
If you indicated team member availability, on your booking form, for the one-to-one conversations, taking place in a designated quiet area during the fair, you will receive final schedule information ahead of the event, if matched with suitable students.
Please ensure your online fair profile and any connected jobs roles are live on MyFuture. This allows students to prepare and identify organisations they wish to visit on the day. If you haven't added jobs during booking, log in to your MyFuture form to upload new positions or link existing ones. All promoted jobs should be added by Monday 16 February 2026. th
