Cardinal Peak and
Daniels College of Business at University of Denver are hosting their third Tech Job Fair on Sept. 25. Companies at the fair will be looking to fill everything from entry-level to senior positions. The fair is being held at the Marcus Commons in the Daniels College of Business at 2101 S. University Blvd. from 4 to 7 p.m.
The 14 tech companies at the event have more than 200 positions to fill, says Bri Rios, spokesperson for Cardinal Peak. "Cardinal Peak sponsors the events. It used to sponsor it with the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, but we wanted to move it to Denver."
The events have been popular, particularly given the demand for tech jobs in the region.
Entrepreneur, has listed five Colorado cities -- Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Grand Junction -- in its top tech startup cities.
Cardinal Peak says that the unemployment rate for software engineers in Colorado is only 0.20 percent, and the number of jobs is growing at a 10 percent annual rate. As such, it's even more important to connect employers and potential employees.
Previous events were highly attended, according to Rios. "It's been really successful. The last job fair we had over 300 job applicants come through the doors and the majority of companies were able to fill positions with with some of those applicants," she says.
By moving the event to Denver, it could potentially reach an audience across the Denver metro area and more of the Front Range. For more information, visit
