BYU–Hawaii Career Conference

BYU–Hawaii prepares students from across Oceania and the Asian Rim to become leaders in their families, communities, and chosen professions. The BYU–Hawaii Career Conference, formerly known as the Asia-Pacific Career Conference (APCC), supports this mission by connecting students with employers, industry professionals, and career opportunities from across the region.

This multi-day event bridges the gap between classroom learning and the professional world, giving students the opportunity to apply their career readiness skills through networking, interviews, and meaningful conversations with organizations representing a wide range of industries. As one of the region’s premier career networking events, the BYU–Hawaii Career Conference creates valuable connections that help students explore internships, employment, and future career pathways.

What to Expect

• International Employers — Meet organizations representing industries aligned with BYU–Hawaii’s academic programs, including business and finance, hospitality and tourism management, education and TESOL, information technology and computer science, biology and environmental science, social work and human services, government and political science, and arts and culture.
  
• Career Fair — Connect directly with employers, universities, and organizations from across Oceania, the Asian Rim, and beyond.
  
• Networking Activities — Participate in structured opportunities to build professional relationships with employers, delegates, and fellow students throughout the conference.
  
• Interview Sessions — Take part in direct interview opportunities with invited employers and explore potential internships, career opportunities, and professional pathways.

Why It Matters

The BYU–Hawaii Career Conference gives students the opportunity to engage with the professional world before graduation. Rather than learning about career preparation solely in the classroom, students gain hands-on experience by presenting themselves to employers, participating in interviews, expanding their professional networks, and receiving real-world exposure to the hiring process.

With employers and delegates traveling from across Oceania and the Asian Rim, the conference also offers a unique opportunity to explore career pathways beyond Hawaii while connecting with organizations from regions many BYU–Hawaii students call home. Whether students are seeking internships, full-time employment, or simply valuable professional experience, the BYU–Hawaii Career Conference serves as a gateway to global opportunities and lifelong professional connections.
