“An increasing number of employers are seeking the knowledge and hands-on experience that Trine University students and graduates bring to the table as interns and full-time employees,” said Jason Blume, executive director of Trine innovation 1. “We’re proud that many employers as well as students and their families recognize the value of a Trine education.”
More than 500 Trine University students participated in the various events this fall. Students also have completed 130 career mentoring appointments with the university’s career coaches so far this semester.
Trine University’s career fairs are part of a multitude of services provided to help students gain practical experience through internships and co-ops as well as help graduates begin successful careers. More than 99 percent of Trine graduates over the past seven years have been employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of completing their degree.
