To promote higher-quality and more inclusive employment for management and humanities graduates of the Class of 2026, and to build an effective platform for interaction between employers and students, a dedicated job fair was successfully held on the morning of November 13 at the Yi Fu Building Auditorium of China University of Petroleum (East China). The event was jointly organized by the School of Economics and Management, the School of Foreign Languages, the School of Law and Humanities, and the School of Marxism. Representatives from the Student Career Development Center and the organizing schools visited the venue and engaged in on-site discussions with employers and students.

With high-quality employers and diverse job opportunities, the event attracted strong interest from students, with over 100 graduating students attending and actively engaging with recruiters.
The venue was bustling with activity throughout the event. Graduates moved between booths to consult recruiters on job requirements, work locations, and career development prospects. Employers who reached preliminary hiring intentions with candidates conducted on-site interviews. Sun Huazhi, Recruitment Manager of Qicheng Holding Group Co., Ltd., commented that students from the University demonstrated solid professional foundations, strong logical thinking, and effective communication skills, expressing optimism about future recruitment and deeper cooperation.
