In February, more than 300 educators, superintendents, technology advisors and engaged citizens from districts throughout New Jersey convened at NJIT to promote digital education at the 2018 Future Ready Schools New Jersey (FRS-NJ) North Regional Certification Summit.
In just a few days, NJIT will welcome employers from as far away as California, Colorado, Arizona and Texas, and debut the Wellness and Events Center (WEC) as the new home for Career Development Services’ (CDS) career fairs. Yes, those seeking jobs along with those needing to fill them will all flock to the recently opened WEC on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., for the Spring 2018 Career Fair.
Interning at PSE&G has proven both professionally and financially fruitful for NJIT senior Aidan McGourty. Not only did his experience segue into a co-op for the 2017-2018 academic year — and garner him accolades from his supervisor — it also contributed to him winning a $500 NJIT scholarship in a Career Development Services (CDS) contest.
Physics teachers and STEM educators throughout the metropolitan area gathered at NJIT’s Campus Center Atrium this month as Gordon Thomas, professor of physics and NJIT “Excellence in Teaching” awardee, presented “Launching Students Into Physics” — a workshop aimed at helping pre-college teachers and communicators better engage students in all-things physics.
With the help of NJIT’s Career Development Services (CDS), some ambitious students have been able to elevate their academic careers through internships at big-name companies like Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan & Chase and Cisco Systems.
CDS reported a sharp increase in the number of co-op and internship placements facilitated through the career center in 2017.
Nearly 900 students gained invaluable work experience, earning over $6.8 million in wages.
