Campus Recruiting

Meet and network with a wide array of top-tier employers as they visit our campus each fall and spring to interview students. These meetings often culminate in job offers.

Corporate Engagement

These are workshops and presentations that will introduce you to supply chain functional roles, industries, and employer expectations. Weekly alumni visits, recruiting information sessions, and informal coffee chats are scheduled to align with employer hiring schedules. To accommodate student schedules, we prioritize interviewing on campus.

Annual Recruiting Treks

Recruiting visits to the Bay Area and/or Seattle and site visits to Boston-area companies will connect you with alumni and top employers, while our annual international and domestic study treks will give you an invaluable and memorable perspective on global trade.

We retain professional consultants to help you develop and hone your presentation skills. Before you graduate, you’ll be able to tell your story with confidence in interviews, at networking events, in cover letters, and on LinkedIn.

From my Nike graduate internship to joining Apple’s supply chain operations after the program, none of this would have been possible without MIT SCM faculty, staff, career services, and alumni—I really gained a lot from the SCM program.”

The STEM/OPT Advantage

Our SCM Master’s degree program is a qualified STEM/OPT program, which means if you are an international student and you complete our 10-month residential degree program, you could apply for an extension of your F-1 visa status. This extension would allow you to work in the United States for up to three years after you graduate, without an H-1B visa. In most years, 100% of international students secure U.S. employment offers.

SCM Recruiting Starts Early

As soon as you accept an offer to enroll in our program, we’ll begin working with you to understand your career goals and help you achieve them.

Prior to your arrival

Prior to your arrival on campus, we’ll assign you an alumni mentor. You’ll meet with SCM career staff, complete a self-assessment, and refine your resumé. Recruiting can start even before classes begin in September, so it’s crucial to be ready.

Upon arrival

Upon arrival, you’ll participate in an accelerated career orientation program, meeting frequently with SCM career staff for personalized guidance. We’ll help you clarify your career goals and refine your presentation skills so you’re ready to interview with employers. Helping you tell your story is what we do best, and we enlist the support of professional consultants and numerous MIT alumni throughout the year to help you perfect these skills.

Early fall and early spring

Early fall and early spring are the busiest times for recruiting. Employer recruiting sessions, coffee chats, on-campus interviews, site visits, study treks, case competitions, and countless introductions to our supportive alumni are how we build the bridge between you and our employers and alumni.
