Nearly 150 employers have participated in Trine University Career Fair events this
fall, a record for single-semester participation.
Between the Tailgate for Talent in September and the Virtual Career Fair in October,
the university welcomed 147 employers to events. The previous record was 128, set
in the spring.
“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.
