OPPORTUNITY FAIR
What is the Opportunity Fair?
The Opportunity Fair celebrates and amplifies the NUF community and provides a space for Fellows, Alumni, Mentors, and Partners to connect and advance the conversation around public-service leadership during Homecoming. The core focus is on developing talent and accelerating careers.
While these are the spaces dedicated to networking fellowship; we encourage participants to see the entire Homecoming event as a place to build meaningful connections.

Employers will have space to meet with and interview eligible candidates onsite. To support these efforts, employers will have access to a Resume Bank of job-seeking Fellows and Alumni.
Partner Expo
The Partner Expo showcases mission-aligned organizations and programs, allowing them a space to connect and share with the NUF community. Fellows and Alumni will be able to meet with representatives to learn about employment opportunities, services, and events.
Skill Enhancer
Skill Enhancers are 45–60-minute topical experiences led by industry experts who are passionate about addressing the specific needs of the NUF community.
