RIT graduate Jonathan Flores ’18 (mechanical engineering) is excited to return to RIT this fall in search of new talent for GE. Flores and nearly 230 companies will visit campus Sept. 21 for the university-wide career fair, and about 75 employers will stay for the Sept. 22 interview day.

The career fair will return to its original two-day format for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. On Wednesday, companies will gather at Gordon Field House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. seeking RIT students and alumni for co-ops, internships and full-time employment. Thursday will allow some of those employers to invite students and alumni back for interviews at the same location.

“This will be the first time since 2020 that students will be able to attend this career fair without a mask and not be as worried or as restricted. They can shake hands with recruiters again,” said Maria Richart, director of Career Services and Cooperative Education.

The fair will feature employers from the Rochester area and across the country. Some companies, such as L3Harris, General Electric and General Motors, will return, while others, such as Amtrak, will visit RIT for the first time.

“We are excited about the fact that we have so many new employers and that this is their first time at RIT. They have never seen our field house. They don’t know the magic of being an RIT student,” Richart said.

Many of the recruiters at the fair will be RIT alumni who have returned to represent their employers. Flores, CMC Manufacturing Systems Engineer for GE Aviation, says, “Recruiting season is an exciting time for GE’s internship and leadership programs as we strive to focus on the future of the company and the people who lead it . As an RIT alumnus, returning to campus is an opportunity to stay connected to the potential of RIT. I am always energized by the inspiring advancements in university education and the student body that wants to work for GE. Recruiting at RIT has been an invaluable experience for the recruiting team and we are excited to return this fall.”

A list of employers and a link to register for the career fair can be found at Career Connect.

More information about the career fair is available on the Career Services and Co-op website.
