The University of Wollongong’s (UOW) Liverpool Campus held its inaugural Summer Jobs Fair, bringing together industry partners and students for a day of networking, career opportunities, and professional development.  

The event had over 200 students in attendance and presented an outstanding opportunity for students to engage with potential employers offering casual jobs, internships, and graduate roles.
