This spring, Primavera is hosting a College and Career Fair right here in Chandler! The purpose of this fair is to help students find college and career options for life after high school.
What Is Primavera’s College and Career Fair?
Just like traditional college fairs, in which attendees learn everything there is to know about attending college, our event will provide an opportunity for parents and students to connect directly with representatives from colleges across Arizona during a free information session. We will also offer information sessions that can help students prepare for the career world. We will have several presentations that will focus on interviewing skills, resume creation and much more.
When you attend Primavera’s College and Career Fair you’ll have a chance to meet with college admissions representatives, ask questions and see if that is a good fit for you. There will also be Q&A time after the presentations for guests to get more information on certain career paths.
When Is It?
Primavera’s College and Career Fair will be held on Wednesday, April 29, from 5 – 8 p.m.
A detailed itinerary will be released closer to the event date.
Who Should Attend?
We encourage all of our students to attend this event and find out more about continuing their education and pursuing a college degree. We also support our students’ ambitions and are excited to showcase career options available in our community. Parents are welcome to ask questions and have any concerns addressed.

Hi, Makayla. The College and Career Fair will be held at the Primavera Blended Learning Center in Chandler on Wednesday, April 29 from 5 – 8 p.m. Thank you for your question and we hope you have a great day!
Is there going to be more colleges?
Hi, Maria! Thank you for your question. Although the colleges listed in the blog are the only ones confirmed, there very well could be more colleges attending. If you would like more information about a certain college now, you can view the Youtube videos from our Digital College Fair back in 2014 by clicking here.
So has a request been sent to University of Arizona? That is the college I am considering and I am kind of bummed out that it is not on the list and was not there last time.
Hi Kayde. We’re sorry the University of Arizona did not come present, but don’t give up! We will have another digital college fair in the fall and they may come then! Stay tuned:)
All of my awesome English students should check this out!
