Each year, NASPO staff travels to academic partner Supply Chain-focused career fairs. Invitations go out to CPOs in the region of that academic partner institution to attend and recruit for their office’s open full-time and internship positions.


Greetings,

Today’s students are tomorrow’s public procurement leaders and one of the most impactful ways to support their professional growth is by connecting them with experienced practitioners like you.

Career fairs hosted by our academic partners provide students with valuable opportunities to explore career paths, learn from industry professionals, and begin building the relationships that can shape their future success. Your insights, experiences, and guidance can make a lasting impression as students prepare to enter the workforce and navigate careers in public procurement.

We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming academic partner career fairs and help inspire the next generation of procurement professionals!

If you are interested in participating, please contact Chalyssa Robinson, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator, at [email protected].

Thank you for investing in the future of our profession.
