Public Interest Tech Career Fair Series @ CMU


Interested in ways in which technology and artificial intelligence can be applied to compelling problems and make a real difference in peoples’ lives?

The Public Interest Tech Career Fair Series at Carnegie Mellon University is comprised of three distinct PIT recruitment events, offering both in-person and virtual options, including a destination event in Washington, D.C.

Each iteration of the Career Fair Series aims to connect government agencies and social impact organizations with innovative and savvy CMU graduate students who are eager to leverage their skills for the public interest.  Be sure to attend the PIT Career Fair Series to:

  • Access to Top Talent: Employers can connect with highly motivated graduate students who are specifically interested in public interest work. These students bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a commitment to making a positive impact.

  • Diversify Skill Sets: The career fair attracts students from various disciplines, including data analytics, policy, and social sciences. Employers can tap into a diverse pool of skills and expertise.

  • Maximize Recruitment Opportunities: Whether seeking full-time hires, interns, fellows, or volunteers, employers can engage with candidates who align with their organization’s mission and values.

  • Enhance Brand Visibility: Participating employers can raise their profile within the public interest tech community. Building relationships with students and showcasing their organization’s work enhances brand recognition.

These events offer unparalleled access to a pool of motivated, skilled individuals who are ready to contribute to meaningful change. Build your talent pipeline, network with future leaders, and inspire students to join your cause. Best of all, participation is FREE, but registration is required to ensure your place at each event.
