2020 Fall Career Fair Series – Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Sciences

October 6, 2020 - 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

MIT career fairs 2020

MIT invites you to participate in the 2020 MIT Fall Career Fair Series. Due to the circumstances caused by COVID-19, the traditional large scale one-day MIT Fall Career Fair will now consist of a Career Exploration Week and a series of several smaller career fairs throughout the fall semester.

The MIT Fall Career Fair Series is a collaboration between Career Advising & Professional Development, Academic Departments, and the Fall Career Fair student leaders to connect students with employers. This is MIT’s largest recruiting event of the year and will be attended by approximately 5,000 students and 300+ employers.

Connect with MIT students from a wide range of disciplines, degree levels, and skills seeking to find internships, research positions, and jobs in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and general sciences. Please register for this fair through Handshake.

This year’s Career Fair Series will be taking place through the Brazen platform.
Brazen is an internet-based virtual career fair platform that utilizes chat and video features, among others, in order to create a stellar online experience. This platform will be a central hub for both employers and students to connect in a remote environment while preserving as much of the authenticity of in-person interactions.

Sponsorship Packet
The sponsorship packet provides detailed information on the career fair format, sponsorship pricing, registration information, and special initiatives. Before you register, please review the packet.

Financial Assistance
We offer financial accommodation to companies that are unable to attend the fair due to financial issues. Please consider applying to this program, we would be happy to try to assist you. To apply, please fill out the Financial Assistance form during registration on Handshake.


Registration is open until Friday, August 28th.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Fall Career Fair Committee via email at cf-directors@mit.edu. Please allow up to two (2) business days to receive a response. In addition, please refer to the Virtual Fall Career Fair Series website for more information and guide.

Important Note:

To register for more than one career fair session, please utilize the “Add-On” feature of Employer Registration. Please register for another session by filling out the Employer Registration Form for another fair session. Your fee for this extra fair session will be waived. Please email Employer Relations at cf-employers@mit.edu to inform us of your desired extra fair session in order for the fee to be waived. In addition, attending additional fair sessions will be based on the number of employers that have registered, thus attending multiple fair sessions is not guaranteed.

Employers cannot register for both the morning and afternoon sessions of a particular fair session. If you do register for both time slots, you can only attend the one for which you are approved for.
