BYU–Hawaii prepares students from across Oceania and the Asian Rim to become leaders in their families, communities, and chosen professions. BYU–Hawaii Career Connect, 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, BYU–Hawaii Career Connect creates valuable connections that help students explore internships, employment, and future career pathways.

Career Connect Asia Career Connect: Asia is one of BYU–Hawaii's Career Connect events, focused specifically on students living, leading, and pursuing careers in Asia.

BYU–Hawaii Career Connect 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.
