SDSM& T's Career Fair will be held Monday, September 13, from 9: 00 a. m. - noon and 1: 30 - 4: 30 p. m. in the Surbeck Student Center Ballroom. There is no charge for individuals to attend. " The Career Fair provides SDSM& T students with an excellent opportunity to discuss career options and network with a wide range of companies and agencies, " says Darrell Sawyer, SDSM& T Director of Career Planning, Placement and Cooperative Education. " These employers recognize the quality of education offered by South Dakota Tech and are coming to campus to recruit our students for full- time, co- op and summer internship positions." Within six months of graduation, more than 90% of SDSM& T students are either working in their career fields or pursuing graduate/ professional degrees. Starting salaries for last year's South Dakota Tech graduates average above $ 41, 600 for engineering majors and $ 40, 400 for science degrees. Participants in this year's Career Fair include several South Dakota employers, many first- time exhibitors, and Departments of Transportation from five states- Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. A sample of the companies attending includes Cargill, Caterpillar, Daktronics, Green Tree, Hewlett Packard, Hutchinson Technology, IBP, Martin & Associates, Maytag, Microsoft, Midcom, Minnesota Corn Processors, Raven Industries, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins, 3M, and UPS. A complete list is available on SDSM& T's Career Planning web site at: www. sdsmt. edu/ services/ careerplan. Over 1200 individuals attended SDSM& T's Career Fair last year.
