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.
