Career Closet

The NJIT Career Closet is a new space operated by the Office for Student Involvement and Leadership, which opened in September 2024. Our goal is to help all members of the highlander community who are in need of professional clothing for interviews, internships or jobs. The Career Closet also offers seasonal clothing for warmer and colder months as well as casual clothing for those commuting or living on campus. We also offer a variety of clothes such as shoes, pants, shorts, shirts, jackets and more!

If you are interested in contributing to the Career Closet, items can be directly donated to Campus Center Room 478 during operational hours or in the drop-off bin outside of the Office of Student Life, Campus Center Room 485. All items should be in good, slightly used or new condition.

Below is the list of current needs for the Career Closet:

• Short Sleeve Shirts/Long Sleeve
• Shoes/Sneakers

If you cannot donate any kind of clothing, then you are welcome to donate to our Career Closet campaign here. All proceeds are used towards purchasing these items for our NJIT students in need.
