New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Career Development Services recognized and celebrated the employers, individuals, and groups who consistently go above and beyond in promoting career readiness and creating opportunities for NJIT Highlanders.
NJIT’s spring career fair is right around the corner and registration is now open for students on the Handshake platform.
More than 3,300 students and alumni filled the Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center and Naimoli Tennis Center on Sept. 17 for NJIT’s Fall 2025 Career Fair, one of the largest STEM-focused career fairs in the region. Nearly 240 organizations — spanning engineering, computing, architecture, life sciences, management and public service — were on hand to recruit for internships, co-ops, and entry-level roles.
The Princeton Review continues to recognize New Jersey Institute of Technology as one of the best universities in the U.S.
NJIT is featured in this year’s edition of the educational services company’s guide, The Best 391 Colleges. Just 15% of all four-year colleges and universities made the guide, which NJIT has been in since its inception in 1992. The selections are listed alphabetically.
New Jersey Institute of Technology is introducing a new service for students seeking jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences: a self-serve kiosk that takes professional headshots.
The kiosk, known as Popcam, enables students to take multiple images in less than a minute before picking their favorite. Then they can customize the background and get the final image online.
For the sixth straight year, New Jersey Institute of Technology's undergraduate program for entrepreneurship ranks top 50 nationally, according to The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine.
Responding to a student need, New Jersey Institute of Technology has opened a Career Closet that supplies free dress clothes, shoes and accessories for interviews, internships or jobs.
The closet, on the fourth floor of the Campus Center, also offers seasonal and casual clothes for campus residents and commuters. It’s connected to a revamped Food Pantry that has everything from canned and boxed foods to produce and toiletries.
New Jersey Institute of Technology has maintained its remarkable run in The Princeton Review’s annual guide to the best universities and colleges in the United States.
For the 33rd straight year, NJIT is featured in the guide, which is based on surveys of some 168,000 students. Just 15% of the nation’s four-year institutions made The Best 390 Colleges for 2025. Each is listed alphabetically.
A record number of students and alumni attended New Jersey Institute of Technology’s latest Career Fair — 3,300 — with some 240 companies looking to fill more than 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences.
The macro numbers were impressive — for the third straight fair — but it was smaller moments that students appreciated most, such as the opportunity to talk one-on-one with representatives of companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Mars and Campbell Soup.
NJIT has established employee resource groups (ERG) that meet regularly and encourage faculty and staff to connect outside of their direct working relationships. This month, NJIT is celebrating its Hispanic/Latino ERG and profiled two of its members: Vivian Lanzot, director of Community and Public Service in the Career Development Services office; and Roberto Rojas-Cessa, professor in the Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).
