General information

Event description

The National Job Fair & Training Expo is Canada's most important and most influential recruitment event and Ontario's leading recruitment event open to the general public. The National Job Fair & Training Expo is a multi-sector 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 National Job Fair & Training Expo brings together the expertise, innovation and know-how of a wide range of organizations from various fields—140 to 150 organizations from Ontario, across Canada and from abroad—to create thousands of employment opportunities for the benefit of 10,000 to 12,000 candidates expected, establishing The National Job Fair & Training Expo as Canada's largest and most influential and comprehensive recruitment event.

Our exceptional growth since our inception, growing from 34 exhibitors in September 2002 to over 170 exhibitors over the years speaks for itself. The continued growth and development of the fair prove that the Ontario job market and business community endorse it and support its mission.

Unique approach

The National Job Fair & Training Expo has become a model for the recruitment and career fair industry in Ontario as well as in Canada. Innovative ideas, unequalled customer service, special-projects implementation, flexibility, team spirit, an open-minded attitude, integrity and the ongoing development of our relationship with sponsors, partners, exhibitors and visitors—all this pushes the limits of efficiency for quality recruitment and makes our approach unique.

Every year, as many as two out of three exhibitors are renewing their participation and become regulars. In this respect, this is probably the most valuable indication of the efficiency of our fairs. There are good reasons behind this high renewal rate: A professional organization that really cares about its visitors' and exhibitors' needs and that delivers top quality events.

En route to 200+ participating exhibitors in Toronto

Toronto is the nerve centre—the niche—of The National Job Fair & Training Expo in Canada. Through dedicated hard work, our first 16 fairs welcomed a cumulative total of 162,700 attendees/candidates and the number of exhibitors has increased by more than 500% over that period, which is unparalleled success in Canada.

We reached a participation of over 100 exhibitors after just two years of operations. More, the last 6 fairs welcomed an average of 157 exhibitors. The next stage of our development plan is to present a recruitment event with 200 exhibitors.
