Space is limited: Register in Handshake to Attend!
INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE COMPANIES TO CAMPUS, WE’RE TAKING YOU TO THE COMPANY!
Join us for a unique student experience where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at an employer job site. This visit to Whiting-Turner Contracting Company will include an organizational overview, site tour, and a networking/panel session with staff representing a variety of roles and backgrounds. You’ll gain exposure to different areas across the company, as well as connect directly with recruiters!
For this On The Road visit, you will have the opportunity to tour the active construction site of the brand new UMB Master of Social Work building - the very first net-zero emissions building for the University System of Maryland, and the first in downtown Baltimore. It will have geothermal wells, solar panels and green roof features!
Free transportation is provided, but an RSVP in Handshake is required.
