OVERVIEW

The ICME Career Forum  is a unique event that brings together our students and Affiliate Program Members & Collaborators for a full day of networking and recruiting. Unlike any other career events offered on campus, the Career Forum introduces you directly to hiring managers and recruiters in a relaxed and intimate setting that you won't find at large-scale career fairs. If you are new to this event, here are a few reasons why you want to join this year:

  1. Get an inside look at companies and their work.
  2. Make connections with industry experts and recruiters.
  3. Explore internships and full-time positions across a wide range of industries.
  4. Gain insights during a summer internship that could be helpful in your research or in considering the right career path upon graduation.
  5. Practice networking, interviewing and learning about new opportunities.

 We encourage you to look through the ICME Career Services Student Guide to Affiliates & Collaborators to learn about organizations.
