Local Jobs Expo 2026

The Local Jobs Expo is designed exclusively for employers with offices located in Baraga, Houghton, and Keweenaw counties. This event highlights the valuable career opportunities available within our region while strengthening connections between local employers, Michigan Tech students, and the surrounding community.

By participating, your organization helps support the growth and retention of talent in the local community and showcases the many ways students can build meaningful careers in the Copper Country.

If your organization is interested in connecting with Michigan Tech students and providing professional development opportunities, we encourage you to participate. Students are eager to learn about local part-time employment, full-time career opportunities, and job shadowing experiences within our community.

This fair will be held on Friday, September 4, 2026. (Registration is part of our Career Fest series of events.)
