The Hart Center provides multiple opportunities for employers to meet and work with our engineering and computer science students. We have several standard events that are hosted every semester and are described below. Based on your vision for recruiting students, we can also partner to create a tailored event for your company. The Hart Center is excited to engage with recruiters and employers to provide our students with internship and job opportunities, as well as providing them with professional development experiences.
Reoccurring Semester Events
Engineering Connections Career Fair
Every September and February, the Hart Center hosts the engineering only career fair that is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Typically over 400 students attend each semester, looking for internships and job opportunities.
Employer Grab & Go's/Drop-In Hours
Employers can work with the Hart Center to schedule a campus visit for a specific date and time. Employers can host an information table or reserve a space to talk with students about work life at their company, collect resumes and start making connects with budding engineering talent. Employer’s visits are highlighted through emails and social media to inform students to drop by.
Employer Information Sessions
Employers are able to reserve a space to host a presentation for students about current career opportunities and work experiences at their company. Most companies bring alumni, if possible, to speak to students about their experience as new hire and alumni.
Employer Email Blasts
Employers can advertise employment opportunities without hosting an event and can target specific student populations through the Hart Center. Employment opportunities are forwarded to targeted students based on employer preferences, such as majors, academic GPA, college classification, etc. The Hart Center then collects resumes from interested students and sends the packet to the company.
Career Prep Events
Employers are invited to participate in career prep events that are designed to help students improve their resume building, interview and job searching skills. These professional development opportunities are integral to helping students understand what employers and industry expect from an engineering or computer science hires. Career prep events include but are not limited to:
