The Career Fair is an annual event, usually happening early March, during which Victoria College and Texas Workforce Solutions partner up to bring dozens of companies to the VC main campus to meet our students and the Victoria community as a whole.

Yearly, we have had approximately 30-35 companies attend this event, enjoying the benefits and convenience of being able to meet an average of 300 applicants from Allied Health, Business & Technology, Industrial Trades, Public Service, and a variety of other industries.

The next Career Fair will happen in April 2021. Final date and details of event are still to be determined.
