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.

For over six decades, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry. Part of our Career Fair traditions include having an “Evening with Industry” (EWI) dinner the night before fall career fair.

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.
If you are interested in learning more about the CSPP, we encourage you to reach out to Jim Desrochers, MBA.
