USSD is proud to host its first-ever career fair for students interested in internships and entry-level positions in the dam and levee industry. College students are invited to take part at USSD’s annual conference in Seattle, WA on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. This is not a typical run-of-the-mill career fair.

You have the opportunity to participate in several 10-minute meet-and-greets with potential employers in a variety of subdisciplines of the dam industry and learn about the exciting career paths that are possible. You will come out of this with a taste of the USSD conference, a newfound knowledge of the dam and levee profession, an expanded network of dam professionals, and leave entertained with several fun events and social activities planned throughout the day.
