Each year, the Office of Career Solutions and Corporate Engagement holds two career fairs - the fall and spring IST Internship and Career Fairs. These events allow students to explore internship and career opportunities with employers seeking to hire professionals with their unique skills. Students from all Penn State campuses are welcome to join the event.
Fall 2023 IST Internship and Career Fair
The fall 2023 IST Internship & Career Fair is a two-day event, where students can connect with employers about internship and full-time opportunities with their organizations. Students can attend one or both days but should note that not all companies will attend both days.
University Park Campus
Transportation will not be provided from Abington, but Abington students are welcome to attend on their own.
