As one of the largest career conferences in the Midwest, Career Conference Week contributes to the success of current students and recent graduates, who have career outcomes of 99% employed or continuing education. Leading employers in engineering, packaging, plastics, design, hospitality and more come to campus to recruit Blue Devils for internships, co-ops, and full-time professional positions. Many companies attend multiple days of the conference to recruit students from across the career clusters, and students are encouraged to any and all days. Alumni are welcome to attend, as well.
