Employer Engagement
Employers seeking interns and new hires will find Herbert students prepared with the experience and skills to meet workforce needs and challenges.
How to Engage with Our Students
Careers Fairs
The Herbert College of Agriculture offers several types of careers fairs every year. Our main career fairs include an event for our agriculture and natural resource majors and another for students in our construction science and management program. Both career fairs bring in corporate employers, government agencies, and non-profit organizations seeking Herbert students for full-time, entry-level positions and/or internships. Take a look at the full scope of our undergraduate programs.
Other career fairs for Herbert majors include the School of Natural Resources Career Fair and Beacon—a career fair for plant sciences students with a turfgrass science and management concentration. Both career fairs are hosted at the school/department level, with employers more specific to those industries.
For questions about our career fairs, reach out to Timmy Carter, our employer engagement and career development coordinator, at [email protected].
