The Food Ed Hub at the Tisch Food Center is thrilled to host its 2nd annual NYC Food Ed Career Fair! Participants will meet employers from across the food education space, from public health organizations, to garden and nutrition-based programs in schools, to environmental education programs, urban farms, community wellness programs, culinary arts and more. Employers will share job and internship openings, volunteer opportunities, and other ways to get involved.
The Career Fair will run from 3pm-6pm at Teachers College Columbia University. Participants will be able to speak with potential employers in an open table format as well as visit the TC NEXT career staff to ask questions or receive support. Light refreshments and beverages will be provided, along with door prizes for the first 50 attendees.
We recommend that participants arrive in business casual attire. We also suggest bringing clean copies of your resume, contact information, or anything else you may want to share.
Opportunities available for ages 16 and up (Parent/Guardian Consent Form will be required for students under 18). Youth encouraged to participate!
For TC students and alumni, TC NEXT will also be hosting a professional workshop:
