*Cal Poly Networking and Recruitment Event *  
*November 19, 2025 |  San Luis Obispo, CA  
5:30 - 8:00PM PDT*

With three new universities joining the [**NFPA Power Partner Program**](https://www.nfpa.com/power-partner-universities), our network of schools dedicated to advancing fluid power education continues to grow. To celebrate this expansion, NFPA member companies are invited to join us for a **special networking and recruitment event** hosted in collaboration with **Cal Poly’s Agricultural Engineering Society (AES)** on campus in **San Luis Obispo, CA**.

 

The Power Partner Program highlights universities that demonstrate strong engagement with NFPA’s fluid power education initiatives, such as the [**Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge**](https://www.nfpa.com/fluid-power-vehicle-challenge), [**Fluid Power Club**](https://www.nfpa.com/fluid-power-clubs), and the **Speakers Bureau, **and that offer dedicated fluid power coursework as part of their engineering curriculum.

With the addition of **three new institutions**, the program now includes **11 participating universities.**

This event provides NFPA member companies with an excellent opportunity to meet and engage with Cal Poly engineering students who are passionate about fluid power and related technologies.

- **Date:** Wednesday, November 19, 2025
- **Time:** 5:30 – 8:00PM PDT
- **Location:** Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA

**Evening Schedule:**

- **5:30 p.m.** – Company check-in and booth setup
- **6:00 p.m.** – Welcome presentations from AES, NFPA, and participating companies 
    - Each company will have **3–5 minutes** to share who you are, what you do, the types of students and skills you’re seeking, and the opportunities available (internships, part-time, or full-time positions).
- **6:45 p.m.** – Dinner and networking 
    - After dinner, companies will move to their** ****career fair–style booths**,** **where students can visit, ask questions, and learn more about your organization.

This event is a great way to build connections, share your company’s story, and discover top emerging talent in fluid power and engineering. If you have any questions, please contact Kyla Olson at [**kolson@nfpa.com**](mailto:kolson@nfpa.com).
