The staff at the Career Center work together with staff and instructors in charge of each department and major as well as advisors at each laboratory to provide every job-seeking students with attentive, comprehensive career support that ensures a great match. Career fairs are held on campus at least ten times a year to put AIT students in direct contact with employers. With an impressive 886 corporations participating in the 2014 academic year, the event places a large number of students on their future career paths.
Students kick off their job search activities in June of their third year with a Career Guidance session, where they learn what they need to do to start preparing to find a job. From there, they participate in job-hunting seminars designed to foster communication between small groups of students and Career Center staff. Mock interviews are also held throughout the year so that students can practice presenting their coursework, research projects, extracurricular activities, and other achievements in the best possible light to prospective employers.
AIT also offers classes on making an excellent first impression, professional makeup workshops for women, individual career consultations, and other resources designed to boost students’ confidence as they head out into the job market.
