FIU Career and Talent Development

??? A Career Fair with a Twist! ??? Last Friday we hosted a successful FIU College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts School of Architecture Career Fair, bringing together talented students and top architecture firms in a dynamic, engaging format! Unlike a traditional career fair, this event featured a unique Employer Presentation segment, where firms had the opportunity to present directly to students before transitioning into the networking portion of the fair. This approach allowed students to gain deeper insights into each firm's projects, values, and opportunities—setting the stage for more meaningful conversations during the networking session. A huge shoutout to Clotilde Picart-Laguer Picart Laguer, CTD Career Specialist for CARTA, for her dedication in making this event a success, and to the entire CTD team for their incredible support. Your hard work ensures that our students have access to valuable career connections and industry insights! ?? Thank you to all the participating firms and students who made this event an inspiring and productive experience. Looking forward to more innovative career fairs ahead! ??
