Jobs & Internships Near Virginia Tech (VT)
Virginia Tech turns out engineers and computer scientists at a scale few schools match, and a huge share of them end up in the DMV. With the Innovation Campus rising in Alexandria and a deep Hokie alumni network across Northern Virginia and DC, the path from Blacksburg to the region's engineering, cyber, and defense employers is well worn. JobZone runs the in-person hiring events that connect VT students and alumni with those employers — the kind of face-to-face access that matters most for technical and cleared roles.
Jobs and Internships for VT Students & Alumni
Hokies from the College of Engineering, computer science, and the business and intelligence programs are in high demand across the DMV's defense contractors, federal agencies, and tech firms. JobZone career fairs put you in front of those recruiters directly — useful whether you're chasing a summer internship or lining up a full-time role after graduation. Many VT students are competitive for clearance-track positions early, and our Northern Virginia and DC events are aimed at exactly the employers hiring for them.
