Recruiting events (think of them as mini career fairs) are a great way for students to establish professional relationships, gather contact information from employers from various industries and practice networking skills. Employers  attend to meet and recruit talented Merrimack students. The O’Brien Center for Career Development is excited about connecting students with industry professionals and offers several recruiting events throughout the year.

Recruiting events are open to all students from any majors, however, each event is focused on a particular industry.

We have resources available to help students prepare:

Industry partners are invited to participate in recruiting events and learn about other ways to get involved at Merrimack by sending an email to employers@merrimack.edu.
