CMU Tech's Job Signing Day event on May 1 served as a celebration of student achievements and the fruitful partnerships between CMU and various industry leaders.
This semester, CMU Tech is proud to acknowledge nearly 70% of students are employed prior to graduation and over 100 students have received a job or promotion in their field in the last 6 months. To commemorate their accomplishments, 32 students and their respective employers gathered to publicly sign a letter of intent. This event was a time to celebrate the hard work that’s gone in to ensuring students have the skills necessary to successfully complete their education, secure employment or receive a promotion. It's also a time to thank the employers for their investment in students.
