Columbia Talent Retention Fair

Join us for the first ever Columbia Talent Engagement Fair, an exciting event designed to connect students and graduates with local career, internship, and networking opportunities. This initiative was inspired by Mayor Rickenmann’s Collegiate Engagement Council, which represents students from all higher education institutions in Columbia. Recognizing the need for enhanced access to professional pathways within our community, the City of Columbia collaborated to bring this dynamic event to life with the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Opportunity Resource, and the Midlands Business Leadership Group. 

This fair will feature a diverse array of industry partners, organizations, and community leaders eager to engage with the region’s emerging talent. Whether you're seeking internships, full-time positions, or professional connections, the Talent Engagement Fair offers a unique platform to explore opportunities and build your future right here in Columbia.  

Don't miss this chance to invest in your career or business while staying rooted in your community. Mark your calendar and prepare to take your next big step!
