Students and Industry
Building connections. Creating opportunities.
The Department of Food Science and Technology fosters strong connections between students and industry partners, creating opportunities for experiential learning, professional development and workforce recruitment. Through internships, co-ops, industry visits, networking events and career opportunities, students gain real-world experience while employers connect with the next generation of food science professionals.
Interested in partnering with us?
Whether you're looking to hire interns, recruit full-time employees, introduce your company through an industry information session, host a tour or connect with students, we'd love to hear from you.
Ways to connect
There are many ways to engage with our students and share career opportunities within your organization. We regularly host industry information sessions where employers can introduce their company, discuss internships and full-time positions, and answer questions from students.
Companies are also welcome to host an information table in the lobby of the Food Science and Technology building. As the central hub for our undergraduate and graduate students, the building offers an excellent opportunity to connect with students in an informal setting, build relationships, and increase awareness of your organization.
