Stand out and connect with industry leaders eager to meet you. The TalentCONNECT® Reverse Career Fair is your gateway to exciting opportunities in the dairy sector. Taking place on Wednesday, March 4 and Thursday, March 5, 2026, during the Hall of Ideas Trade Show at the PDP Business Conference, this unique event flips the traditional job fair model—putting YOU, the talent, in the spotlight.

Instead of navigating crowded booths, you'll showcase your skills, experiences, and career aspirations at a personal display table. Whether you're seeking a full-time position, internship, or co-op opportunity, this is your chance to shine in front of forward-thinking employers in dairy farming, agribusiness, and allied industries.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to network, present your professional brand, and take the first step toward your dream career in the dairy sector.

All students, including technical, undergraduate, graduate, etc., are welcome to apply.
