Wichita State Summer Job Fair July 24: Employers Hiring Now
Published: June 15, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Wichita, KS — If you have been waiting for a reason to dust off the resume, mark Friday, July 24 on the calendar. Wichita State University is opening its summer job fair to the community, and a room full of hiring managers from across the Air Capital will be there to meet you.
Free to attend, open to the public, and built for on-the-spot conversations with employers who are hiring right now.
What is happening on July 24
The summer job fair runs from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on the WSU campus at 1845 Fairmount Street, just north of 17th and Hillside on Wichita's east-central side. While Shocker students and recent grads make up part of the crowd, these campus fairs regularly draw employers looking for experienced hires too, not just new graduates. Bring printed resumes and dress like you mean it.
Who shows up to hire
Wichita job fairs tend to pull from the city's signature industries: aviation and advanced manufacturing, healthcare systems, logistics and warehousing, customer service, finance, and skilled trades. That mix means a welder, a CNA, a call-center rep, and an entry-level office worker can all walk the same aisle and find something worth applying for.
How to make the two hours count
A short window like 1:00 to 3:00 rewards people who plan. Arrive early, scan the room, and hit your top three or four target employers first while recruiters are fresh. Have a 20-second pitch ready, ask what roles they are filling this summer, and get a name and a next step before you move on.
