This August, over 7,000 Huskies will return to campus to continue their studies—many of whom are looking for part-time jobs that align with and enhance their academic skills. We’re exploring the idea of hosting a local jobs expo and would love to know if your company would be interested in participating. If your company has an office based in Baraga, Houghton, or Keweenaw counties – we’d like to hear from you.

While you may already know about Michigan Tech’s strong student body, you might be surprised by the breadth of degrees and programs we offer.  Whether you’re looking for reliable weekend help, a consistent part-time employee, or are open to hosting a student for a brief job shadow, there’s likely a student whose talents align with your needs.

Career Services Corporate Advisory Board (CAB) Meeting

It is one of our favorite times of the year here at Michigan Tech, besides Career Fair season, of course. A few weeks ago, our team welcomed our Corporate Partners on campus for our annual Corporate Advisory Board (CAB) Meeting. What is the annual CAB Meeting, you ask? We invite our partners to campus for a few days to talk about what is going on in industry, updates from our leadership at Michigan Tech, and how we can best work together to ensure that we continue with record breaking placement rates for our Huskies that graduate each year.

These two and a half days are packed with workshops, presentations, and, of course, an opportunity to network while enjoying the beautiful summer of the Copper Country. The annual CAB meeting is another great opportunity to get involved on campus as part of our Career Services Partner Program (CSPP). In addition to discounts at recruiting events, on-campus marketing opportunities, and early access to register for events and fairs.
