September 15, 2009 • 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Duke University • 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 16, in the Bryan Center. Our format of providing company-specific chat areas and signage for each company offers students and employers an easy way to connect.
