An internship is the perfect opportunity for employers to gain a resource to assist with short-term projects and assignments while providing students the opportunity to develop new skills or enhance existing ones for life after ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å. Students come with research, problem-solving, writing and academic skills as well as a fresh perspective and an eagerness to learn from the industry.

On-campus interviews are one of the most effective ways to engage and hire motivated ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Spartans for full time or internship positions. It is a great way to build stronger brand awareness on campus while saving resources and time by interviewing more students at once. Career Services offers a total of seven interview suites that are conveniently located next to our employer lounge. The Employer Relations team encourages and assists you with creating and managing on-campus interviews in the fall (end of September through November) and spring (February through April). Interviews are held between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and made easy through Handshake.

The Career Services team hosts and facilitates a number of fairs and events throughout the year to enable employer recruitment efforts on campus. Since all events are open to ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å students and alumni, participation is key to increasing on-campus brand awareness and meeting qualified candidates in person. In fact, employers who engage in fairs and recruitment events have the MOST success in hiring our students as they provide access to job seekers.

• We host the following fairs each semester:ÌýPart Time Job Fair, Internship Fair and All Majors Fair. These fairs occur during the first six weeks of the fall and spring semesters and are attended by over 300 job seekers (including alumni).
• Career Services also partners with the Beta Alpha Psi student organization for accounting and finance students each fall semester to host theÌýMeet the FirmsÌýevent in September. Employers seeking candidates with proficiency in these fields of study to fill internship, part-time and full-time opportunities are highly encouraged to attend this event.

Information sessions allow employers a fantastic opportunity to promote their organization through a meet-and-greet/social event or an information-sharing forum. For the latter option, interested candidates expect employers to provide them a general company/organization overview as well as information on opportunities, culture, the work environment, benefits, the interview process and career paths. These information-sharing sessions may be scheduled at any point during the campus recruiting season or in conjunction with an on-campus interview schedule, are hosted by Career Services from 2-4 p.m. on Monday-Thursday and usually last an hour including time for questions.

Employers also have the option of hosting a meet-and-greet social for interested candidates. In addition to information-sharing, employers also have the option to provide refreshments and/or hors d'oeuvres for students. While optional, employers are also encouraged to consider door prizes, give-aways and other ways to differentiate themselves from established competitors and to garner student interest. Employers meeting the below criteria are most successful with information sessions at ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å:

• Employers with a highly diverse talent profile across multiple fields and levels of study
• Employers looking to place talent in multiple locations across the nation (ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å students come from all 50 states and over 140 countries)
• Employers who plan to leverage their ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å alumni community in on-campus engagement
• Employers who have the resources to connect and engage with multiple student organizations to amplify company brand recognition and key messaging
