Host An Event

By contacting only one member, you can quickly schedule your event and invite two or more of our member institutions. We will provide materials to publicize your fair and there is no charge for our services. Events typically include a group table which displays raffle gifts and “give-away” items. More than 125 local organizations have worked with our group to hold a successful event. A few of their testimonials are listed at the bottom of the page.

We also can send representatives to staff one or two tables at your preexisting event, such as a benefits fair. In part, those representatives will provide information about their own institutions. They also arrange for employees to receive information from other member schools. Individual schools will contact employees later only after written request.

Occasionally we participate in events which are open to the general community, such as the Delaware Valley HR Summit or a job fair.

If you do not have a school preference to coordinate your fair, please contact us for more information.

An educated workforce is an advantage. The fair coordinator cooperated to seamlessly integrate the fair into our workday. A number of employees made a point to tell me how pleased they were with the fair.

The education fair was a valuable and positive experience for our employees and the high school students in our career program. It was a great opportunity for attendance by bringing the event on-site.

Because there were multiple colleges in attendance it provided an opportunity for employees to find schools close to work and home. It also gave the allowed employees to ask specific questions based on what their needs were. Many employees, like myself, find it time consuming to search the internet, contact colleges, etc… and having a group together that can easily be accessed during lunch, breaks etc… was very convenient.

Each university was properly represented with enough information for our employees to make the best decision for themselves and/or their family and friends. We only had to provide the space; the representatives of the consortium controlled everything else. It was most helpful to all of us in the Human Resources department, not to have to worry about the set-up or break down of the education fair. UPS emphasizes higher education, not only for a more erudite employee, but also to further develop a diverse and learned individual.
