Join Us for Spring 2025 Professional Blueprint Workshops

Our events for students get you ready to make the right impression on recruiters at Michigan Tech’s Career Fair.

As a part of our Professional Blueprint Program, the College of Business offers workshops by some of our student organizations and clubs, as well as staff from the College of Business.

Join us this semester for a workshop (or two!) designed to enhance your professional skills and prepare you for your career after graduation. From resume prep and a pre-Career Fair meetup with potential employers to portfolio reviews and how-tos on perfecting your personal pitch, these activities are designed to enhance your confidence and increase your success. There’s also some fun in store, including our annual Winter Carnival All-Nighter statue building.

No RSVPs to the workshops are required unless indicated on the schedule (you do need to make reservations for the Etiquette Dinners). If you have ideas for future workshops or wish to host a workshop please email us business@mtu.edu
