Hosted by the White Lodging-J.W. Marriott, Jr. School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, the Purdue HTM Career Fair is an annual, in-person event held every fall. This distinguished event connects top employers with aspiring professionals whose academic preparation is rooted in the study of human interaction. Students representing four academic programs; hospitality and tourism management, financial counseling and planning, retail management, and selling and sales management. It serves as a critical platform for networking and exploring career opportunities within these dynamic industries.
Across all programs, experiential learning is a graduation requirement, and our students, known as Experience Engineers, are actively pursuing internships and full-time roles where they can make an immediate impact. Employers attending this fair will meet candidates who are business-savvy, service-driven, and professionally prepared to excel in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
Whether you’re looking to engage with emerging talent or recruit your next standout hire, the Career Fair provides direct access to students ready to lead, innovate, and contribute across industries.
