Michigan Technological University has partnered with ACRA to develop a virtual Career Fair specifically designed to help students studying for applied careers in cultural resources, including Anthropology and Archaeology, Geography, Sociology, Preservation, Architectural History, Planning, and allied fields.
While CRM is a central part of the larger network of professionals working in heritage, preservation, compliance, management, and planning, most academic programs producing students for these careers are small and widely distributed throughout the country. On the other hand, many companies, agencies, and organizations that hire these students are often in different regions than the academic programs.
We are currently connecting with employers and university/college programs. More than 26 universities and colleges have already joined (as of 2/26). As word spreads, we anticipate more will join. We expect to be hosting several hundred job seekers.
We hope you'll consider joining this virtual Career Fair:
March 18, 2025
12 pm - 5 pm EDT
This fair is being hosted on the Handshake platform.
