About Graduate Career Connect:
Graduate Career Connect is a unique career fair experience crafted specifically for graduate students in research-intensive fields. Unlike traditional career fairs, this event is designed to:
Offer Targeted Matchmaking: Connect with graduate students whose research skills and expertise align with your company’s needs, streamlining the hiring process.
Enable In-Depth Interactions: Through sessions like one-on-one speed networking and portfolio showcases, companies can engage in meaningful, focused conversations with students.
Showcase Student Skills Beyond Resumes: Students present their skills and projects in visually engaging formats, such as portfolios and Visumes (video resumes), giving you a comprehensive view of their capabilities.
Provide Visa-Friendly Recruitment Guidance: This event is designed to help companies clearly communicate their willingness to sponsor visas to support the best matches for opportunities.
