Program Overview
AAD Virtual Career Fairs (VCFs) are career advancement opportunities that provide AAD students with inroads to partner employers and organizations across a variety of industries. From the employer standpoint, AAD VCFs serve as an efficient and effective way to gain access to a nationwide pool of highly motivated, proactive, and trained talent. Additionally, we provide employers with inroads to students they don't normally target: underserved Pan Asian American undergraduates across a multitude of career interests. If you are a student searching for opportunities (internship, job, or volunteer) or an employer/organization seeking to strengthen your talent pipelines, then this is the program for you!

Student Testimonials
I really enjoyed meeting people from so many different backgrounds- it empowered me and allowed me to learn about many different jobs. |
As an Asian student, it really means a lot to have a job fair for Asians by Asians, knowing that I'm not alone in this navigation process for internships or jobs. |
I thought the fair had a great selection of employers and resources to improve aspects of career development like resume writing, interviewing, and using LinkedIn. |
The career fair was a great networking opportunity and really helped to guide my approach toward securing a career as an AANHPI. I definitely feel more confident in my materials, presentation, and narrative after attending. |
AAD x CAPAL Summer Career Fair was definitely a worth it experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to advance their career skills and connect with potential employers. The staff were extremely helpful and the office hours brought about much-needed assistance. |
Employer Testimonials
Being able to support AAD and the students that attended as an Asian American myself was a wonderful experience and provided me as an employer lots of energy hearing from our community's youth. After hearing more about what students are hoping for, this helps inform our team toward to be more intentional about the opportunities that we offer at our organization. Thank you AAD team! The AAD x CAPAL Career Fair was a wonderfully engaging experience, directly connecting dynamic, accomplished AANHPI students across the country with top employers seeking next generation leaders to hire. I was truly impressed by the calibre of students and quality of conversations I had throughout the day. |
After participating in this career fair, it definitely made me reflect on the unique challenges that Asian Americans have when entering the workplace - especially those from first and second generation immigrant families. When I was younger, I didn't have access to a lot of professional mentors (which often come from parents/family), so I think you've got a great mission. I had a lot of fun meeting so many students and young professionals. I'm inspired by them for taking advantage of this opportunity, especially since I never did anything like this when I was their age. |
