ECF 2022 - 2023 IS BACK!
We are thrilled to invite you to our renowned ECF Education & Career Fairs taking place IN-PERSON
once again across British Columbia and Ontario this year!
The desire to connect outside of our homes, offices and schools post-pandemic is thriving! To meet. To greet. To explore incredible opportunities.
The 2022/2023 Education & Career Fairs provides a direct opportunity for over 12,000 attendees to connect with over 200 exhibitors of universities, colleges, skilled trades learning institutions, and employers from across Canada. Since 1996, ECF has introduced secondary students and career seekers to valuable tools, resources, and contacts to equip them in preparing for post-secondary education and ultimately, entering the workforce. Attendees will benefit from the many opportunities to interact face-to-face with school recruiters, industry experts and human resource managers. They will also be able to practice their employability skills and receive personalized advice from recruiters about everything from resume writing to interviewing techniques. We encourage all attendees to take full advantage of all the activities at the Education & Career Fairs, including The Learning Lounge, to ask questions and gain new knowledge.
As part of ECF’s evolution to continuously meet the needs of both our exhibitors and students, we are highlighting career pathways in trades and skills training in all our upcoming fairs. Students will have the opportunity to discover more about themselves, explore opportunities that align with their interests, and learn how to create a plan leading them to their successful transition into the world of post-secondary education and careers.
Whether you are looking for your next career or encouraging students to pursue their education, the ECF Fair will help those take their first steps in entering the workforce and the pursuit of higher education. Join us in-person in British Columbia in December 2022, and in Ontario in March 2023.

What is ECF?
The Education & Career Fairs (ECF) is an annual career development fair series in Canada. Our mission is to create community connections by inspiring students and employment seekers in skill development and education pathways.
Fairs are attended by secondary students planning for higher education; young adults looking to transfer their work experience & skills to a different industry; and new immigrants seeking employment and further training to settle in Canada. More than just a trade show, ECF creates opportunities for individuals or organizations to chat, ask questions and learn together.
Why Exhibit at ECF?
At ECF, we work closely with school districts to guarantee active attendance, which helps our exhibitors and sponsors to expand their network and connections, generate leads and grow brand awareness!
This year, we are excited to announce that ECF is stepping up by carrying out in-person fairs once again in British Columbia and Ontario. Also, we are launching an improved ECF series in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 featuring a developed program. As a result, we expect the number of our fairs’ attendees to grow significantly offering thus new sponsor and exhibitor opportunities!
