Events

Career Services offers interactive events, both large and small, that connect students, employers, and alumni. Find additional career events and event details on Handshake and the Michigan Tech Events Calendar.

Career Fair

Our semi-annual career fair is open to all students and all majors. It is one of the largest in the country, bringing more than 400 companies and 2,000 recruiters to campus each year. The fall 2024 Career Fair is Tuesday, September 24, 12–5 p.m., in the Student Development Complex.

CareerFEST!

CareerFEST! (and its variations) is a series of casual networking and recruiting events where companies show off what they do to attract Huskies' attention. In the fall, these events are held outside during the weeks leading up the Career Fair. During the spring semester, FEST! moves indoors. CareerFEST! also includes lightning resume review events where recruiters review and critique students' resumes.
