More than 30 local and regional employers will participate in Penn State Lehigh Valley’s 3rd Annual Business, Technology, and Engineering Career Fair from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday.
The free event welcomes current students from Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses as well as students from Lehigh Carbon, Northampton, and Bucks County community colleges. Students will have opportunities to connect with company representatives from manufacturing, health care, information technology, retail, and engineering industries.
Participating employers include Air Products, Good Shepherd, Crayola, St. Luke’s, Lehigh Valley Health Network/Jefferson Health, Bosch, Olympus, Lutron, Merck, and Volvo/Mack.
“This event provides students with an excellent opportunity to explore career paths and begin building their professional networks,” said Kellie Provost-Brown, career specialist and event co-organizer at PSU-LV. “All majors are encouraged to attend. Employers are looking for talent across disciplines, and students—especially first-year students—can benefit from engaging with professionals early in their college experience.”
Provost-Brown emphasized the event serves purposes beyond immediate job placement. “Employers want to have a presence on campus to build relationships for future hiring needs,” she said. “Students don’t need to be actively seeking an internship to attend and learn about potential career paths.”
The addition of PSU-LV’s four-year engineering degree has expanded the fair’s reach, according to Mark Capofari, assistant teaching professor and program coordinator for project and supply chain management and event co-organizer.
“Our new engineering program has drawn additional interest from employers,” Capofari said. “Companies like Air Products and Bosch are joining us for the first time, which opens even more doors for students across multiple fields. The continued participation of returning employers demonstrates the quality and preparedness of our students.”
The campus is at 2809 Saucon Valley Road in Center Valley.
