Career Services & Professional Development Workshop Requests

Career Advising & Professional Development’s career services staff can facilitate on-campus or virtual workshops for groups of 15 or more in collaboration with MIT academic departments, programs, and/or student groups.

For the academic year, tailored workshops begin on September 23rd and we look forward to working with your group at this time! Check out the CAPD events calendar for career fair and internship/job search prep events happening during the month of September.
