CAREER FAIR REGISTRATION PROCESS - Fall 2026:
To better align employer hiring needs with the internship and job-seeking interests of our cadets, we are continuing with the registration process introduced with the Spring 2026 Career Fair. We are accepting interested employers through an open registration and subsequent selection process. Registration is NOT first-come, first-served.
Open Registration Details
Open Monday, April 13th at 8am through Friday, May 1st at 12pm.
Employers will be notified on Monday, May 4th regarding selection. Those not selected will have the option to join the waitlist and/or select a Workforce Wednesday for the fall (prior to opening the series to all other employers).
Career Fair Capacity: 53 employer booths
Notice: Submitting a registration does not guarantee a space at the career fair. Employers will be contacted on May 4 regarding selection status.
For employers not selected from open registration: Those not selected for the spring career fair will be invited to participate in one of our Workforce Wednesday ($100) events in the dining hall, or Nichols Engineering (for engineering only). These will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis until all are filled. If we are unable to accommodate your organization at the fair, we will work with you directly to identify other ways to share your opportunities with VMI cadets.
We are additionally accepting sponsor applications for our cadet lunch at the career fair. The spring cadet lunch was sponsored by Gilbane, Munters Corporation, & Crowder Construction and likely contributed to a record number of cadets at the spring career fair (200+). If your company is interested in learning more about sponsorship, register for the career fair (select the sponsorship option) and then email MAJ Slone for the Google Form to submit additional details. Sponsorship levels will be accepted in order of submission through the Google Form.
