Northern Illinois University (NIU) Networking Event
February 10, 2025
NIU Rock Valley College, Rockford, IL
9:30AM – 1:30PM CT
NFPA invites you to a special recruitment event on February 10, 2025, in partnership with Northern Illinois University (NIU), a valued Power Partner University. The Power Partner Program showcases universities that actively participate in all NFPA fluid power educational programs and provides targeted fluid power courses. NIU offers fluid power education through dedicated courses and actively participates in the Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge and the Fluid Power Club program.
The event will begin with a career fair where NFPA member companies can connect with engineering students from NIU. Following the career fair, we will host a luncheon and series of presentations from NIU faculty and NFPA. We will wrap up our event with a roundtable discussion where representatives from each NFPA member company in attendance can collaborate to answer student questions about fluid power and industry trends.
The event will run from 9:30AM – 1:30PM Central Time and take place at Rock Valley College in Rockford, IL, the location for NIU’s fluid power courses and activities. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Kyla Olson at kolson@nfpa.com.
