Employers

We are part of the Handshake network — meaning you can post your position here and elsewhere in a single location.  Posting your position ensures that all of our students have equitable access to search and find positions.  If you've never used the platform before, please read "Getting Started with Handshake" article. 

Post a Job

Career Services organizes events designed to maximize student interaction so please consider attending one of our organized recruiting events first.  However, if you'd like tot host a virtual or in-person event to share opportunities and promote your organization to our students, you can create an event using Hanshake.  (If you select an on-campus event, please let us know the type of room you'd like for your event.  It can take up to a week for us to secure a location on campus and this is harder during busy days around Career Fairs.)

Create an Event

The Career Services education team offers presentations throughout the semester on a variety of topics to help students prepare for their careers. Each semester, the events before Career Fair focus on preparing for the fair, and the events after Career Fair address broader topics like networking, job searching, and professionalism. The schedule is on our events page. If you would like to join us as a guest speaker for one of our presentations or to suggest another professional development topic that you might present, contact us at career@mtu.edu.

What kinds of things does your company bring to an industry trade show? Bring those things to campus to show them to our students in outdoor, casual events. This “show and tell” format lets students learn what you do or make and what kinds of jobs they can find at your company. After the outdoor festival, come up to the Career Services Learning Center to meet with students individually to help them improve their resumes. Enhance your branding by participating in one or more of these days. Typically, there are four or five Career Fest days scheduled in September in the weeks prior to the Career Fair.

Career Services hosts the MTU Career Fair each fall and spring. With nearly 400 employers and over 4,000 students—over half the student body—attending in the fall, our University-wide Career Fair is your best opportunity to meet and hire the best and brightest.

While you can expect to find students from most departments at the University-wide fairs, some departments and colleges, such as the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science and Department of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA), host their own fairs, with support from Career Services, throughout the year.

MTU Fall 2025 Career Fair will be Tuesday, September 23, 12 noon–5 p.m., in the Student Development Complex.

Additional Career Fair Opportunities

Day Before Career Fair

To enhance your Career Fair experience, there are a variety of events that happen the day before. When you register for the Career Fair, we’ll send you a list of other events to consider to maximize your time on campus.

On Campus Interviews

Career Services has interview rooms available for you to have private conversations with our students. Facilities for virtual meetings can also be made available. If you plan to do on-campus interviews, contact us at career@mtu.edu, and we will help you reserve a room and set up a schedule. If you are interviewing our students virtually, remind them that we have spaces available for them.

We also host Interview Day on the day after Career Fair. With your Career Fair registration, you will be able to request an interview space on campus to interview the Huskies you met at the fair in person.

Gone are the days of posting flyers on bulletin boards—let us help you promote your company and career opportunities through digital advertising! Choose from a variety of social media and digital display advertising options. 

We have over 200 Registered Student Organizations on campus. Reach out to the group that is most relevant to the work your company does. Collaborate on events or sponsor their activities.
