The Supply Chain and Logistics Institute (SCL) successfully hosted its highly anticipated Fall 2024 Supply Chain & Logistics Career Fair, connecting 34 organizations with students from various backgrounds.
The logistics-centered career fair caters to undergraduate and graduate students from the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), though students from across the university were also encouraged to attend.
"Supply Chain Day, is our premier recruiting event for both students and employers focused on supply chain careers. We work hard to ensure we’ve got a mix of companies hiring everyone from interns to co-ops, undergraduates, and grad students,” said Chris Gaffney, Managing Director of the Supply Chain and Logistics Institute.
These companies represented various sectors, from operations to technology and automation, offering students insight into different career paths within the industry.
"This SCL career fair featured around 34 companies and saw approximately 400 students registered, with additional walk-ups throughout the day," said Sean McConnell, Program & Portfolio Manager at SCL.
The strong student-to-company ratio provided attendees ample opportunities to engage with potential employers and explore the evolving world of supply chain and logistics.
Kaya Kapoor, a second-year Industrial Engineering student graduating in 2026, played a key role in the event, including creating signage for the fair.
“I was really impressed with how well-organized and accessible this career fair felt compared to the general career fair or company open houses. Everything just seemed to run smoother.”
Held twice a year, the event attracted a diverse range of companies from across the supply chain space, including major names such as:
Looking ahead, SCL plans to host its next Supply Chain & Logistics Career Fair in mid-January of 2025. Companies interested in participating are encouraged to reach out for more information.
