Lots of job postings (full time/internships) on JT Engineering’s webpage (https://jt-engineering.com/careers/#join-our-team)
Career Services is hosting an on-campus jobs expo Jan. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Alumni Lounge in the MUB. Students are encouraged to come check out the job opportunities available right here on campus. Many departments will be represented.
On-campus jobs provide opportunities for Michigan Tech students. A part-time job offers income to students who need it and is an important co-curricular opportunity. As a co-curricular opportunity, on-campus work can lead to internships and co-ops, opening the door to full-time offers immediately after graduation. It can also help a student establish a strong foundation for research that leads to enhanced graduate school opportunities.
It is that time of year again. We are hiring OES (Orientation Executive Staff), OTLs (Orientation Team Leaders), Success Coaches, ExSEL Peer Mentors, and Success Class Peer Assistance.
Please share with anyone that you know would be great in any of these roles. We are looking for students who are motivated, passionate, and are our Husky leaders. We are using Handshake this year for all of our positions. Job Descriptions will be posted by the end of the week on https://www.mtu.edu/success/now-hiring/
If you have questions please feel free to reach out to success@mtu.edu or dmcorwin@mtu.edu.
