(Houghton, MI) – With 264 companies registered for Michigan Technological University’s fall Career Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 24, new companies recruiting include Chevron and Tata Motors, India’s largest auto manufacturer. “They have an IT branch called Consultancy Services, which is huge,” said Jim Turnquist, director of career services at Michigan Tech.
Chevron has recruited and hired before at Tech, but this year they’ve joined the Career Fair and expanded their search.
“In the past, they focused on geology, but this year they are looking for many different engineering fields: chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical,” Turnquist said. “That’s a big plus.”
Back after a hiatus from recruiting is Procter and Gamble. They are scouting for chemical, electrical and mechanical engineers.
Old favorites like Dow Chemical have increased their presence. Instead of a couple of interview rooms, they’ve reserved eight for the day after the fair.
Turnquist says that both the fall and spring Career Fairs have grown into a week-plus of activities, including thousands of student interviews for jobs, co-ops and internships.
