2024 Student professional development days

Each year, Purdue Food Science hosts numerous food companies for Student Professional Development Days. This unique event allows Purdue Food Science students to network with food industry professionals and fine-tune their professional skill set. Students receive feedback on their resumes, elevator pitches and networking skills as they learn more about career opportunities in research and development, quality assurance, food safety, technical sales, food processing and more. Many students secure interviews for internships and full time positions as a result of this career fair. In September 2024, 22 businesses and organizations participated in the event, and over 150 food science students took advantage of this opportunity.
