Student Registration:
Graduate and Undergraduate Students Welcome!
All aspiring designers, whether you're pursuing your undergraduate or graduate degree, are cordially invited to join us at the 2024 Student Career Day, hosted by ASID PA East and IIDA PA/NJ/DE.
This event offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with a diverse range of professionals including designers, manufacturers, developers, and more. Through networking and discussions, attendees will gain valuable insights into the industry and the pathways to becoming a well-prepared professional.
Career Day is entirely FREE and promises to provide a comprehensive preparation experience for students gearing up for internships and entry-level positions. We encourage participants to dress in business casual attire, and we welcome students from all levels to take part.
Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to register at your earliest convenience. Don't forget to bring your portfolios and resumes, whether they're finished or still a work in progress – there's always room for improvement!
Portfolio/Resume Reviews:
For portfolio and resume reviews, students are advised to bring them in either print or digital format. For digital portfolios, students must bring their own laptop or tablet to review their work with a professional, as these will not be provided. Any work, even if it's still a work in progress, is encouraged to be brought along.
During this part of the event, we have allocated six 20-minute rounds for student and professional matchups. When your time is up, students are encouraged to switch to a new professional, although they can choose to continue their conversation with their current match if they wish. If a student feels they have received sufficient feedback, they can begin networking, as food and beverages will be available starting at 5:00pm.
If a student or professional needs to leave before the event ends, please inform the Career Day team so they can accommodate this need.
Registration ENDS on Wednesday, 4/3/24 at 12:00 PM. *No on site registration available.
