Career Fair

Held once each semester, fall and spring, the SD Mines Career Fair connects over 1,300 students with 152 employers (about a third from South Dakota, the rest from across the United States). Many employers recruit on our campus every year, but each Career Fair also sees new participants looking to recruit SD Mines job seeking students. Many employers conduct next-day interviews with students.

About Handshake

Handshake is the fast and powerful recruiting platform for SD Mines students and alumni. It uses cutting edge technology to better connect employers with qualified candidates. Students and alumni can build profiles highlighting their academic accomplishments, skills and extracurricular activities, then make those profiles visible to companies on Handshake to market themselves to potential employers. They can also use this platform to participate in virtual career fairs, like the one on September 22nd, 2020.

Employers may use Handshake to post jobs, internships, and co-op listings, register for career fairs, attend virtual career fairs, manage on-campus recruiting, advertise events, and message students and alumni who meet your qualifications. Employers will also be able to promote their brand more effectively by customizing your employer profile, job postings, and events to be more visually appealing to students.
