As the flagship institution of the State of Maryland, the University of Maryland invites you to participate in the inaugural Maryland Talent Connection Career Fair on March 26, 2026, from 11:30AM–4:00 PM. This first-of-its-kind event connects employers from across Maryland with top student talent.

Hosted in partnership with County Workforce & Economic Development Offices and the Maryland Department of Commerce, the fair convenes commercial, nonprofit, and public-sector employers seeking skilled early-career talent to meet current hiring needs.

Please review the attached flyer for registration details. New employers must create a HireSmith account and then visit the Events page to access the registration link. You can create your HireSmith account using these instructions. The registration fee is only $150.00 for commercial businesses and there is no cost for government hiring offices to register.

To ensure a successful event, we encourage each employer to post three or more internships and/or full-time opportunities on HireSmith by 3/19/26. Following registration, an invoice will be sent via email with a payment link and once processed, you will receive a separate message containing event logistics and planning details.
