The University of Toledo Engineering Career Development Center will host the Fall 2016 Engineering Career Expo Wednesday, Sept. 21.

Representatives from more than 160 companies will be available to talk to students and alumni of the UT College of Engineering during the career expo 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. on the first floor of Nitschke Hall and North Engineering.

The event will connect students with companies seeking talent needed for success.

“Many companies from across the United States participate in this event,” said

Dr. Vickie Kuntz, director of the Engineering Career Development Center. “A few of the nationally recognized companies scheduled to participate include BP America, Eaton Corporation, Fiat Chrysler, FirstEnergy, GE Appliances (a Haier Company), Honda, Johnson & Johnson, KIEWIT, Marathon and SSOE Group. The quality of the attending companies speaks highly to the quality of our engineering students.”

The career expo is a great opportunity for job-seeking students to network with employers, she said, noting that student attendance in past events has topped 600. Kuntz expects more than 600 students and alumni to participate in this event.

The career expo is open to UT College of Engineering students who are enrolled in the mandatory co-op program. Additionally, UT engineering alumni who have been in the work force for a few years and are interested in exploring other positions are welcome.
