Companies looking for West Texas A&M University student employees can recruit them on campus at an upcoming event.

WT’s Back to School Job Fair will run 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 26 on the Charles K. and Barbara Kerr Vaughan Pedestrian Mall in the center of the Canyon campus.

Registration deadline for companies is 5 p.m. Aug. 20. There is no cost, but registration is required at bit.ly/b2sfair21.

During the come-and-go job fair as the 2021-22 school year begins, students will look for part-time employment opportunities both on- and off-campus.

“Connecting students with these employers from their early college years will promote greater connections within the community and, ultimately, a better network for our students as they enter the job market,” said Sam Green, senior career services coordinator in WT’s Office of Career and Professional Development.

A full list of companies will be available to students via their Handshake account at bit.ly/wtbacktoschool21.

Meeting regional needs is a key component of the University’s long-term plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.
