Annual Recruitment Careers Fair

Each year AIT hosts a Recruitment Fair annually in November, which is an ideal opportunity for employers to meet with students informally and to distribute their literature. We can comfortably accommodate up to 60 companies and find this a very successful recruitment exercise for both employers and students. 

Also, we invite interested companies to host a workshop on the day on topics, such as, interview techniques, presentation/negotiation/time management skills, postgraduate study etc.

Increasing Your Company’s Profile on Campus

AIT has a Careers Library open to our students from 9:30am-4:30pm daily, with comprehensive information on a wide range of employers, of all sizes. In addition we also supply students with a list of web addresses. Should you wish to install a company information stand in the college we would be happy to facilitate you.

Company Presentations

The Institute welcomes employers who would like to stage a company presentation targeting specific programmes and years of study. We will arrange a venue/equipment and contact the relevant disciplines in advance.

Interview Facilities

The Careers Service is happy to arrange rooms for interviewing AIT graduates and students, free of charge, subject to availability.

Facilitating Contact with Academic Departments
