Dear Chinenyem,
May was a month of milestones across MIT, with more than 3,600 students graduating and many others launching into summer internships, research experiences, and new professional opportunities around the world.
As the MIT community transitions into the summer months, we remain grateful for your continued partnership and support of our students and alumni. We truly value the opportunities you help create through your recruiting efforts and engagement with our community and look forward to connecting you with MIT talent in the academic year ahead.
As we prepare for the 2026–27 academic year, I’d like to share a brief update and glimpse into recruiting at MIT. Below, you’ll find information on these topics and more:
• MIT's Fall Career Fair, our premier recruiting event, where you can join 220+ other organizations in connecting with 4,200+ MIT and Harvard students.
• “Recruit at MIT” webinar June 15th at 2:00pm EDT and a link to register.
• Scheduling on-campus programs, events, and interviews, as well as our recruiting calendar and guidelines.
• Joining CAPD's Employer Connection Program, for those interested in receiving additional assistance from CAPD when recruiting at MIT.
If you have questions about recruiting MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and recent alumni, please do not hesitate to reach out or email our Employer Relations team at hiremit@mit.edu.

Throughout the academic year, CAPD, student organizations, and academic departments host a variety of career fairs, expos, networking events, and recruiting programs designed to connect employers with MIT talent across a wide range of industries and areas of expertise.
In addition to larger campus-wide recruiting events, many programs offer opportunities to engage with students in more focused or specialized fields — helping employers connect with talent aligned with specific technical, research, and industry interests.
We encourage employers to visit our Annual Career Fairs at MIT page to explore upcoming recruiting opportunities and begin planning for the 2026–2027 Academic Year. The page will continue to be updated over the year as dates, details, and additional programming are finalized.
The following is just a sample list of annual recruiting events at MIT:
