The University of Kentucky Ag Equine Programs will host its eighth annual UK Equine Career and Opportunity Fair from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on March 1 at Spindletop Hall, in Lexington.

The free event provides college students the chance to meet prospective equine industry employers and to learn about potential volunteer, internship, and part-time and full-time employment opportunities. In addition to booths from area equine businesses, attendees can participate in sessions led by industry professionals, who will offer tips and one-on-one career advice.

“I always love this event,” said Elizabeth LaBonty, MS, lecturer and internship coordinator in UK’s Equine Science and Management undergraduate degree program. LaBonty’s equine careers class is planning the event. “The students work so hard putting it together, and the interaction between students and the industry is always rewarding to watch.”

Informational sessions will allow participants to explore opportunities related to graduate school, careers in the Thoroughbred and Sport Horse industries, as well as marketing and business careers. Food and drinks will also be provided, as will a shuttle to and from campus for UK students
