The East Kootenay Career and Job Fair is set to return to the College of the Rockies (COTR) Cranbrook campus on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., bringing together job seekers, students, and employers from across the region for a day focused on opportunity and connection.

With more than 70 regional and national employers expected to attend, the annual event continues to grow as one of the largest career fairs in the Kootenays. Last year alone, more than 800 attendees participated, many securing interviews, summer contracts, and long-term career opportunities.

The event is hosted in partnership with WorkBC and Kootenay Employment Services (serving Creston, Cranbrook, Fernie, and Invermere), with support from Elk Valley Resources.
