Engineering Job Fair to be held Oct. 19

More than 110 companies are expected to be represented at the University of Maine’s 2016 Engineering Job Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the New Balance Student Recreation Center.

Co-sponsored by the UMaine College of Engineering and Career Center, the event is an opportunity for students to learn about some of the engineering firms in Maine, New England and throughout the country; meet company representatives; and possibly find a job after graduation or on-the-job experience through a co-op or internship.

Students are advised to bring resumes, prepare a 30-second introductory pitch, and research the companies they plan to speak with before attending. More Career Fair tips are online.

In addition to the fair, many employers will remain on campus Oct. 20 to interview students.

More information, including a list of the companies scheduled to attend, is on the Career Center website.

The event is underwritten by General Dynamics/Bath Iron Works, with additional support from several industry sponsors including Kepware Technologies, Procter & Gamble and Tyler Technologies. A complete list of sponsors is online.
