CAREER FAIR

Each semester, the Department holds a Career Fair for companies to attend and recruit civil and environmental engineering students. Any Virginia Tech student is welcome to attend, so if your company has an interest in other majors in addition to civil engineers, we are happy to invite them!

This event generally happens in October and February of each year. Registration opens in May for the fall event and in December for the spring event. Registration for both spring and fall generally fill pretty quickly. If your firm is interested in these events, it is important to note the registration dates and times for these events. You can find the events on HANDSHAKE, which is a common platform used by career centers all over the country. If you have any questions or cannot find the event listed in Handshake, please reach out to Kara Lattimer, karalatt@vt.edu for additional information.

The Spring CEE Career Fair will be held on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 at the INN at Virginia Tech. Registration will open on Friday, December 13th at NOON (EST) via Handshake.

Please note that you must have Handshake account in order to register, so please plan accordingly and secure your account in advance if you do not have one. You can learn more about Handshake here: https://career.vt.edu/job-search/Handshake.html
