Aspiring scientists, engineers and business professionals will enter a world of career possibilities when they meet with Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) recruiters at its Career Fair Tuesday, Jan. 24.

Candidates are encouraged to bring resumes and come prepared to talk with recruiters from NSWCDD at the event from

3-7 p.m. at the Fredericksburg Expo Center.

 

“Have you ever been curious about who Dahlgren is and what we do? This is your opportunity to come out and learn

about what we get to do each and every day – whether you are looking for a full-time position, college summer internship

or even a high school summer internship. There is something for everyone,” Brooke Bowler, NSWCDD recruiting lead, said.

NSWCDD has a broad and diverse research, development, test and evaluation portfolio, with an emphasis on warfare

systems development and integration. The division leads as Virginia’s largest federal research and development employer

be available to address NSWCDD’s benefits package and student opportunities.

“As a candidate, this event really allows you to learn and experience all that Dahlgren has to offer,” Bowler said.

Each department will have a recruiting team of at least five – one lead who keeps track of candidate names of interest to

the department, recruiters and interviewers. Candidates may have the opportunity to be interviewed in an interview

room and given an on-the-spot offer.

In June 2022, there was 175 candidates and recruiters made 27 on-the-spot job offers. Another 100 candidates registered

to have their information reviewed by hiring managers. Bowler said she would like to match or slightly exceed the number

of candidates this year. In addition to the Career Fair in 2022, there was a Human Resources Strategic Sourcing event of

which NSWCDD made 70 offers to candidates it met at recruiting fairs at 27 colleges and universities in the Fall.
