Welcome to Canada's largest, most established and comprehensive recruitment event for adult candidates.

Established in 2002, The National Job Fair & Training Expo is a multisector recruitment event presented twice a year, in spring and fall, in a high quality trade show approach. Aimed at stimulating employment in a dynamic and proactive environment, the fair was quick to attract recruiters from Ontario, across Canada and abroad to become Ontario's largest, most established and comprehensive recruitment event open to the general public.

Open to the general public, everyone is invited to attend and meet with recruiters, admission officers and career services providers at what is recognized as the largest job/career fair in Ontario for 10 years. Welcome to adult candidates and mature students from all sectors. Benefit from the direct contact and real encounters, which remain the most efficient ways to stand out.

The 2013 Fall National Job Fair & Training Expo will be held on September 24 and 25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (downtown Toronto), a central location that is accessible to as many individuals as possible from the Greater Toronto Area and outlying regions. This 23rd edition is expected to showcase 140 to 150 booths from 130 to 140 companies to meet with access to thousands of employment and career opportunities. More than 500 recruiters, career specialists and admission officers will offer jobs or will help you to find one through hiring companies, employment and career services, career training and education programs. Exhibitors will come from the GTA, other regions in Ontario such as Sarnia/Lambton, from other provinces such as Saskatchewan, Alberta and Quebec. There will be work and study abroad opportunities in several countries too!

A highly reputable event for a decade, the Fair brings to candidates more job, training, education, self-employment, career services and entrepreneurship opportunities than any other event in Ontario. Visitors will find a wide range of reputable, dynamic and quality organizations from a wide variety of sectors under one roof. The Fair promotes the hiring and career development of all individuals. The list of exhibitors in the spotlight - already available - will be updated regularly until the Fair's opening day and the complete list of exhibitors will be posted a week before the fair.

Testimonials

Government of NewFoundland and Labrador- Public Service Commission

"We attended the fair in the fall of 2009. We had antiocipated a fair like others that we have attended and saw this as an opportunity to walk around and meet other exhibitors during slow times. To our surprise, we quickly realized this wasn't just another job fair. We were so busy that my colleague and I did not speak to each other until 3:30 p.m. In addition, we have had a position that has been opened for almost 2 years as we found no qualified applicants in our search. During the first day in attendance, we found TWO qualified applicants! We can safely term our first appearance at The National Job Fair & Training Expo a great success."

Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration - Global Experience Ontario

"Excellent coordination and organization. Daniel Levesque made sure our needs were met and always responded to our questions very effectively. We really appreciate his support."

Canadian Business College

"Fantastic! Organized with very friendly staff. Large booths make a very comfortable marketing environment... Well done! Keep up the excellent standards!"

The North West Company Ltd

"The North West Company would like to thank-you again for such a successful recruitment fair! It looks as though we have at least 75 candidates we will be contacting as a result of this event for Retail positions in Northern Canada. Our corporate HR team also brought in many resumes for IT positions. Thanks again Daniel for all of your hard work. We are looking forward to our continued relationship and more success in the fall!!!"

Rona Canada

"I wanted to say thank you and I’m very happy RONA Ontario participated this year. Based on the over 200 resumes we received, I’m certain we’ll get some caliber candidates. I also wanted to commend you on your high level of Customer Service you have give RONA over the course of the last few months. Now understanding the magnitude of the job fair, your call back time and service is outstanding, and I look forward to having two booths next year!"

HONEY BEE MANUFACTURING (SASKATCHEWAN)

"After many years of involvement in major Trade Shows both in North America and Europe I would like to pass on a note of appreciation for the high level of organization exhibited by Daniel Levesque in the orchestration of The National Job Fair & Training Expo event in Toronto. For those of us who are exhibitors we always live under the constant pressure of our day to day business and often feel somewhat overwhelmed as we prepare for a Trade Show. It was comforting to have every step so well documented with timely reminders arriving as the event drew closer. The stress involved in preparation was greatly alleviated by the guidance provided. Thanks Daniel for the friendly, helpful and professional assistance. "

NIAGARA PENINSULA ABORIGINAL AREA MANAGEMENT BOARD (ONTARIO)

"You are one of the best Show Managers I have dealt with! This will be my first job fair at The National Job Fair and Training Expo and among all of the conferences etc. I have attended I absolutely love the informative emails. They provide us first-timers (and repeat attendees) to the National Job Fair and Training Expo with a detailed set of prepping guidelines. I'm very excited to be attending."
