“To be included among our top recruiting partners, organizations have made a commitment to participating with NJIT students and Career Development Services in multiple ways. Their engagement extends well beyond simply posting job openings and hiring students and graduates,” said Greg Mass, CDS executive director, at the event. “Recruiting partners attend career fairs and conduct on-campus interviews, facilitate workshops and seminars, host site visits to their companies, and join our staff in the Campus Center for our ever popular Resume Day.
“So today we recognize not only those organizations that have hired the most, we additionally recognize those companies and individuals who have made a commitment to assisting in the professional and career development of our students.”
