Build your connections and learn about job opportunities at the 9th annual Engineering and Technology Career Fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, at the Grayslake Campus.

Put together by the college�s Career and Job Placement Center (CJPC), the fair is free and open to all students and the public. The event is strategically held in early January when �������� and other college students are still on break.

�CJPC�s purpose is to bridge the gap between employers and students,� said Executive Director Will White. �Career fairs are just one way we do that. There�s a growing need for graduates to remain in Lake County for work, and we are doing our best to help students who want to find jobs locally.�

Meet and network with industry leaders seeking emerging talent to hire for their growing organizations. This is one of the larger fairs �������� hosts, and 20-30 employers are expected to attend, including Baxter International, Siemens, and UL Solutions.

�This is a great chance for students to engage with employers and find out more about relevant industries at the local level,� said Career Services Specialist Nicole Leconte.

Employment and internship positions will be available, so a wide variety of students can find opportunities at the event.

�Anyone from anywhere in their educational journey can benefit from attending,� White said. �Whether they are first year or about to graduate, there will be something for everyone.�

Attendees should bring a resume and be ready to discuss skills with industry professionals. Having a list of five to seven questions can help show preparedness and start the conversation. Business casual attire is recommended.
