🚀 Michigan Tech Career Fair

Career Fair is exciting—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

You’ve got this, and we’re here to help.

Michigan Tech’s Career Fair brings hundreds of top companies from around the country right to you, ready to talk about internships, co-ops, and full-time jobs. Whether you’re a first-year student just checking things out or a graduating senior ready to lock in your first job, the fair is your opportunity to connect, explore, and grow.

Join a guided tour of the fair space, talk with friendly employers in a low-pressure setting, and learn how it all works. No pressure—just a great way to build confidence.
