TRAVERSE CITY — Employers are now invited to register for NMC’s 2026 Career & Majors Fair, to be held 1-5 p.m. Friday, April 10 at the Hagerty Center on NMC’s Great Lakes campus.
Employer registration is $50 ($25 for non-profits) to host a table at the region’s only career fair, which utilizes a guided pathway format.
