Career Fair

Students and Alumni

The Michigan Tech Career Fair is an excellent opportunity for students to network with hundreds of companies visiting our campus. For the Career Services staff, this is one of the busiest days of the year. Dozens of employees, assistants, and students help to make this event the success it is every semester. We take pride in the helping hand we are able to give to the students of Michigan Tech.

It is important to prepare for the Career Fair before attending. Your efforts to secure an interview, network and make a new job contact, and find full-time employment can be enhanced by how you prepare yourself.
