Spring Career Fair

The Armory Gymnasium was bustling with activity on Monday, February 8th as Northern hosted the spring career fair. The Career Center brought 42 employers to campus for the event. Students interviewed with seven employers for openings for co-ops and full-time placement.

GE Transportation and Wartsila were the two Gold Sponsors, while Frontier Electric, Torgersons, Northern Rockies Medical Center, and Mountain View Co-op were the Maroon Sponsors. This year, 26 of the 42 employers did not list diesel technology as their primary major/degree of focus. Instead, taking over the interest in degree categories were; agriculture operations technology, business, civil engineering technology, criminal justice, electrical technology, and nursing. Feedback from all employers was very positive, many stated that they were impressed with how many students arrived with appropriate questions about the companies and organizations. The employers who interviewed were also impressed with the quality of students who interviewed for various positions.

The Career Center would like to thank everyone for their help in setting up and tearing down for the big day. A special thank you goes out to all of the crews in the Athletic Department, Physical Plant, University Relations, Food Services, Event Coordinator, Media Center, Vande Bogart Library, Administration Office, and IT Department. All of your hard work and willingness to give up your offices for interview rooms is greatly appreciated! The faculty who attended, brought students, released students from class to attend, or gave assignments and extra credit to their students to attend also deserve a big pat on the back! At last count, there were almost 300 students at the fair, which is very close to what we had in the fall.
