Engineering and Computing Job Fair to be held Oct. 19

More than 165 companies and organizations are expected to be represented at the University of Maine’s 2022 Engineering and Computing Job Fair on Oct. 19.

The event, which is expected to attract more than 1,000 students, will be held from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at the New Balance Student Recreation Center. 

The Career Center, in conjunction with the College of Engineering, provides this opportunity for students to learn about some of the engineering and computing 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. They also are encouraged to RSVP in advance and bring their MaineCard to streamline registration, as well as download the “Symplicity Jobs and Careers” mobile app for a fair map, links to employer websites and live updates.

Employers will have an opportunity to tour the new Ferland Engineering Education and Design Center after the fair at 2:30 p.m. 

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