Career Fairs

Join our Public Health Career Fairs

The Michigan Public Health Careers Office hosts 2 Career Fairs each year, providing employers the opportunity to connect with and recruit talented students for internships, projects, research, and jobs. Employers can choose to participate in one or both fairs based on their recruiting timelines and goals.

  • Fall Public Health Career Fair: Mid-September
  • Winter Public Health Career Fair: Mid-January
  Employer Experience: “The fair was awesome - it was a great chance for us to better understand the profile of SPH students and it was nice to meet the career services team and establish ourselves as an employer of choice in the Michigan community.”
  Employer Experience: “I really enjoyed myself at the career fair and thought it was organized really well. Neika White was an excellent liaison and ensured that me, my colleagues, and my talent acquisition team had all the resources and information we needed to be prepared for the event. As far as the students, I was really impressed with how prepared they were to interact with us. Most of them immediately came up, shook our hands, and introduced themselves in their business professional attire. Many came with resumes and business cards to better share their skills and experiences, which we were later able to share with our talent acquisition team to keep in mind for future opportunities.”
