The Career Fair, which is open to all Cal Maritime students and alumni, will feature such distinguished companies and organizations as Agilent Technologies, American President Lines, Crowley Marine Services, Genentech, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Military Sealift Command, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and Target Corporation (Logistics and Distribution).

Hosted by the Office of Career Development, the annual career fair allows students and alumni to meet face-to-face with some of the top recruiters in the country to explain how their experiential-based education at Cal Maritime makes them uniquely qualified for employment. The annual career fair is one of the many career placement opportunities students and alumni have access to through Cal Maritime’s Office of Career Development.

“For the last several years, Cal Maritime students have enjoyed a nearly 100 percent job placement rate upon graduation and starting salaries above the national average,” said Bill Eisenhardt, president of Cal Maritime. “In addition, Cal Maritime’s completion and time-to-degree rates are some of the best of any public institution in the state.
