Education agents seeking universities that prioritise career outcomes will find compelling evidence in Trine University’s recent Tailgate for Talent Career Fair, its largest fair on record. This year’s annual event reached an attendance record of over 700 attending students and 140 recruiting employers, demonstrating Trine’s commitment to connecting international students with meaningful career opportunities.

Industry recognition and student success

Employers consistently praise Trine students’ professionalism and preparation. ‘The calibre of students, their curiosity and professionalism reaffirmed the strength of Trine’s programmes,’ notes Holt McNeer, a Trine alumnus now recruiting as a manufacturing engineer at Kautex.

Senior design engineering technology major Matthew Jimenez’s journey is the perfect example of the transformative power of Trine’s career development approach. Through the Career Fair, he secured his position at Rolls-Royce as a Graduate Manufacturing Engineering Intern, alongside previous internships at prestigious organisations including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
