Employer Events

Each year we produce several events that capture the current needs of students and employers, but some things never go out of demand.  Below is the list of our annual events designed to keep the dialogue going between students, alumni and employers. For information about other events we have throughout the year, please see our announcements section.

 

Recruiting

We offer recruiting during the academic year to employers looking to fill paid positions.  Recruiting dates must be set up a minimum of one month in advance to leave time for us to administer promotion to the targeted audience. Please contact career@pratt.edu for more information.

Fashion Round Table

Each year our office works with the Fashion Society, a student organization serving our fashion design students and fashion enthusiasts, to create an event that brings cutting edge fashion professionals into conversation with our students.  The roundtable format ranges from casual chatting to professional networking and always results in engrossing dialogue.  For more information, contact Deborah Yanagisawa.

Career Day

This event is a collaboration between the School of Architecture, student organizations (Pratt AIAS,CMAA/AGC, Interior Design, PHPO, PIPSA, and LEAP) and Center for Career & Professional Development to serve students studying Architecture, City and Regional Planning, Construction Management, Environmental Systems Management, Facilities Management, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, and Urban Design. The event is typically held in February and draws over 200 students to meet with employers. Registration is required.
