Packaging Career Fair
Packaging Career Fair
The annual Packaging Science Career Fair brings together students from the packaging science program and industry professionals. The fair is designed to offer employers and students a forum to meet and discuss the packaging field and career opportunities. Employers have the opportunity to present their company and meet students in the packaging science program (and students with packaging minors) who are looking for co-op and full-time job opportunities. Students are able to gather general information about companies as well as specific co-op and full-time opportunities within them. Companies typically stay the next day to interview candidates they meet at the fair. The event typically draws about 25 companies and 115 packaging students to the fair.

The Packaging Career Fair is followed by an optional Interview Day in the Bausch and Lomb Center from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Employers are the ones to schedule interviews with students and alumni from the fair. Students are invited by employers through 30-minute interview slots during or after the fair.
If students do not hear from an employer or have a scheduled time slot, they do not attend Interview Day.
