About us
Our growth
Since the first edition of The National Job Fair & Training Expo in September 2002, our numbers have been steadily growing to quickly become Canada’s most important and influential recruitment event open to the general public (adult candidates).
While the volume of attendance is the largest in a recruitment event in Ontario, the volume of exhibitors is steadily growing—from 34 exhibitors to more than 170 exhibitors; an increase of more than 500% in 8.5 years of operations!
Cumulative registrations in 16 editions since 2002: 1,891 exhibitor registrations (2,043 occupied spaces)
Most exhibitors are regulars. The continued participation of exhibitors means a high level of satisfaction (average satisfaction rate of 98% in 16 events). This is definitely the key to our growth and the addition of new exhibitors brings us to new heights.
