Career Closet
Need professional attire for an internship or job interview? The Career Closet provides free clothing to help NJIT students look and feel their best.
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!
