On January 29, VIVA proudly partnered with SFU CSSA to host the VIVA x SFU CSSA Career Fair at Simon Fraser University, bringing together employers, community organizations, and motivated job seekers for an afternoon of meaningful conversations, career exploration, and new opportunities.

We were honored to welcome an outstanding group of exhibitors who generously shared their insights, opportunities, and support with our community (in no particular order):
• Merit Trust
• ZML Holdings Group Corporation
• Zehong Global Canada (BC) Inc.
• BMO
• RBC
• Costco Burnaby
• Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

A special thank you to our inspiring keynote speakers, whose powerful stories and practical guidance truly energized the room:
• Yvonne Zhang – Sharing real-world experiences from her career journey
• Zachary Liu – The Fast Track to Finance
• Sam Thiara – Personal Branding: Going From the Visible to the Memorable

A highlight of Roundtable Session connected students with SFU professors and industry professionals for practical advice, open Q&A, and career insights in a highly engaging setting. We also appreciate Professor (Natalie) Bin Zhao for taking the time to join the session and share her perspectives with attendees.

We sincerely thank VIVA and SFU CSSA for their collaboration, as well as all exhibitors, keynote speakers, volunteers, and everyone who joined us. Together, we created a space where careers were explored, confidence was built, and connections were made.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, we look forward to continuing to support your career journeys in 2026 and beyond.
