Who Should Attend?

• Any company dealing with construction (residential through commercial, industrial, highway, land development and specialty contractors) and/or civil engineering design should find this career fair worthwhile. Employers who are more interested in design may want to attend the (now separate) Civil and Environmental Engineering Career Fair.
• All students interested in working in these areas are invited to submit resumes in advance to Stephanie Randel at srandel@vt.edu and attend this event. The primary student attendees are from the Department of Building Construction, the Construction Engineering and Management Program in the MLSoC, and Civil & Environmental Engineering.

Career Fair Social Sponsorship Opportunities

A social is held after the exhibitor day for each career fair.  This provides an opportunity for the students and the company representatives to interact in a more relaxed setting and to get to know each other better.  This networking opportunity is invaluable to our students.  The sponsorship opportunities are listed below:

Bronze Sponsor $500- Includes company logo displayed on wall plaque and mention in the advertising flier for the social.

Silver Sponsor $1000- Includes company logo displayed on wall plaque, mention in the advertising flier for the social and availability of space for company materials to be available to attendees.

Gold Sponsor $2500- Includes company banner to be displayed at the social, company logo on wall plaque, availability of space for company materials to be available to attendees and mention in the advertising flier.
