Once every spring, graduating DigiPen students showcase their projects to over 100 industry professionals from around the nation. Instead of a traditional career fair where the companies have booths, our students set up booths and display their projects, reels, and portfolios to top companies.

This year, over 100 graduating students will be participating in Career Fair from the following degree programs:

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Game Design
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Digital Audio
Bachelor of Arts in Game Design
Bachelor of Arts in Music and Sound Design
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Art & Animation
Master of Science in Computer Science
Master of Fine Arts in Digital Arts

Over 100 projects will be on display, including (but not limited to) 3D cinematic animations, single and multi-player 2D platformer games, 3D platformer games, VR games and physics engines. Employers are encouraged to circulate through the displays, view or play the projects, ask questions, and collect resumes. Participating students are eligible for employment as a majority of them will be graduating in May.

Helpful Event Information and FAQs:
1) Is parking readily available?
Yes. On-site parking will be available; parking staff will be available to guide you.

2) How many people should I bring from my company?
In previous events, we have found that companies who bring at least 3 representatives tend to be more successful, especially if you are representing a larger organization. This allows you to engage with students without feeling rushed.

3) How do I prepare for this event?
As we approach the Career Fair, a web page will be provided to you with a list of student portfolios that you can view beforehand. We highly encourage viewing these portfolios prior to your arrival to prioritize who you meet with. Employers who do that tend to have a more successful and efficient experience at the Career Fair.

4) How can I get the most out of this event as an employer or recruiter?
To maximize your recruitment and networking experience, we recommend attending the Employer Mixer before the Career Fair begins to engage with members of DigiPen faculty, staff as well as other employers. If you do not have a defined set of hiring objectives, it is recommended to keep conversations to approximately 2-5 minutes, allowing for more time to engage with a larger volume of students. In past Career Fairs, employers often feel rushed towards the end of the event because they spent longer times in conversation.

5) Am I able to view students work prior to the event?
Yes! To view student work, please follow the below link.
