Virtual Career Fair Will Connect Chemical Engineers and Employers, Sept. 10

Job seekers in the chemical engineering arena, along with representatives from many of the companies and industries that employ them, will discuss job opportunities and make employment connections when AIChE presents the latest event in its Virtual Career Fair series. The online fair is slated for Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM EDT.

Chemical engineers at all career stages  are invited to register for the event, where they will interact with employers from a cross section of the global chemical process industries. The Virtual Career Fair is hosted by AIChE’s Institute for Learning and Innovation (ILI), as a component of its lifelong career support for chemical engineers across sectors.

According to Wendy Young, Senior Director of the Institute for Learning and Innovation, the Virtual Career Fair offers many of the familiar elements of an in-person employment fair, but eliminates the restrictions imposed by geography and travel expenses. “AIChE members, in particular, will benefit from priority placement at the fair, with members’ résumés given the most prominent positions in the fair’s résumé database,” Young notes.

Register to start making connections

Job seekers, regardless of their employment status or location, can create a profile, submit their résumé, read job postings at virtual company booths, and sign up for a live chat with recruiters. Employers can register for a virtual exhibit booth, post available jobs, review candidate profiles, and chat with job seekers in real time.

Engineers who wish to register for and participate in AIChE’s Virtual Career Fair will find instructions at www.aiche.org/careerfair. Employers can use the same registration platform to post their jobs and set up Virtual Career Fair booths.
