Employer Services

We offer a variety of services to aid employers in filling their positions with MSC students and/or alumni. Our goal is to assist in matching the best candidate with the best company.  Employers must adhere to our employers policies when using our services. The College reserves the right to refuse any employer the access to recruit on campus.

Career Fairs

We host three career fairs annually. Employers are welcome to attend our career fairs held each Fall and Spring by registering and paying the attendance fee.

If registration fees are not paid, employers will not be permitted to attend future career fairs.
