The MTU Career Fair is one of the largest in the country, bringing more than 400 companies and 2,000 recruiters to campus to meet over 4,000 students—more than half the student body—each year. Our semi-annual Career Fair is open to all students of all majors, and it's the best opportunity for employers of all industries to meet and hire the best and brightest.
MTU Fall 2025 Career Fair will be Tuesday, September 23, 12 noon–5 p.m., in the Student Development Complex.
Career Fest
What kinds of things does your company bring to an industry trade show? Bring those same items to campus to show off to our students in an outdoor, casual event. This “show and tell” format lets students learn what you do or make and what kinds of jobs they can find at your company. Enhance your branding by participating in one or more of these days.
Career Fest days are in the weeks leading up to the Career Fair. These events can be a useful part of your on-campus recruiting strategy.
No suit or resume required! Students will be dressed for class and will interact in a more informal setting.
Interview Day
The day after Career Fair, recruiters stick around to conduct thousands of interviews with our Huskies. Some students spend the whole day going from interview to interview. Faculty and staff donate office space to recruiters for the day to support our students.
For Students
Be prepared to interview right away, the day after Career Fair. Make sure you answer calls from strange numbers on your phone Tuesday night–those might be recruiters calling to schedule interviews. Also watch your texts and emails. Make sure you write down who is interviewing you when and where.
Once you know who is interviewing you, do your homework on the employer(s). Make sure you have a copy of your resume to bring with you. Think about how your resume relates to the the employer's culture and business.
Just like for Career Fair, make sure you dress professionally for your interview. Make sure you set aside enough time to arrive at your interview location with time to spare.
Don't forget to send a Thank you note on Thursday.
For Employers
You can request interview spaces as an add-on when you register for Career Fair. Full-day and half-day options are available. Full-day interview spaces include lunch.
You will have an opportunity to update your interview space request when you check in for Career Fair. Interview space assignments will be published before or during Career Fair, so you will be able to tell students where to meet you for their interviews.
As you schedule interviews with students, please be sure to communicate your name, your company's name, and the location and time of the interview. It is best to send them a text message, email, or calendar invitation. If the student does not know these details, Career Services will not be able to help them find you.
Career Services does not have information about employers' or students' interview schedules, nor does Career Services provide contact information for recruiters or students. You are responsible for your own schedule and obtaining any needed contact information.
