Fitzpatrick Center
TechConnect, hosted by the Duke University Career Center, Department of Computer Science, and Pratt School of Engineering, brings students and employers together. Each year, a panel of employers is selected to provide advice to students seeking internships and full-time jobs. Through this panel presentation, students get a good understanding of characteristics employers seek as well as a realistic view of the job market for students interested in engineering and technical careers.
The panel discussion is followed by a vibrant networking event. Students from all classes are welcome to visit with employer representatives, many of whom are Duke alumni. This venue provides a less formal environment than the traditional Career Fair, which takes place the following day, September 20, in the Bryan Center. We are using a slightly new format that will make it even easier for students and employers to connect by providing company specific "chat" areas.
