Career Fairs and Connections

Illinois Tech offers a tech-focused, hands-on, relevant, and rigorous curriculum—paired with real-world, team-based projects—that prepare our students and alumni to hit the ground running in the workplace. Companies attend our career fairs to recruit individuals within the fields of engineering, computer science, information technology management, social science, business, food science, architecture, psychology, manufacturing, science (life and physical), and more. Career Services hosts career fairs each year on Mies Campus during the fall and spring semesters, as well as smaller fairs throughout the academic years.

Fall 2024 Career Fairs

On-Campus Career Fairs

What to expect:

Registration includes parking, one six-foot table (with basic table skirt), food and beverage service throughout the day, and a reception for representatives. Assistance of shipping materials is also provided as needed. Options are available for additional services and company sponsorship.
Student & Alumni Engagement: Meet our talented students and alumni among all programs at our university. Create a applicant pool and find your future employees in one event.
Private Lunch with Illinois Tech Faculty & Staff: Our career fair will shut down for a private lunch with Illinois Tech Deans, Faculty, Directors, and Staff. This is a great opportunity for employers to meet and network with some of our academic departments.
On-campus interviews (OCIs) the week of the fair are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Contact Career Services to begin scheduling this (careerservices@iit.edu)
Build your brand among the Illinois Tech community. Whether you are a well established organization maintaining relations or a start-up looking for exposure.
We offer “virtual booths” at some career fairs for companies who are unable to attend our fair in person. Contact us to see if this is an option for you.
