Additional engagement opportunities
Career Connections
You are welcome to schedule a career connections session via Handshake. These could be employer-led workshops, industry treks/company site visits, or “meet the recruiter”/”ask me anything” sessions. If you would like us to promote your session, please send the Handshake link to uwbhire@uw.edu.
Employer-led workshops
Host or co-present on a specific career topic to connect with students interested in a particular industry or job function. Popular topics include technical interviews, career fair preparation, LinkedIn for networking and job search strategies, virtual interviewing, virtual networking, or day in the life of a professional in your field.
Host an open house or site visit
Host a company virtual open house or on-site visit to support further student career exploration and refinement, including learning about day-to-day “work life”, workplace culture and what employers’ value in new hires. This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about your organization, meet members of your team, and get a sense for what working for your company would be like.
“Meet the recruiter” / “Ask me anything” career sessions
This is an opportunity to converse and connect with students to maintain brand presence on campus. The format may include a short student-focused topic presentation and then Q&A. These informal sessions target professional development content, provide an interactive opportunity for students to ask questions and allow them to understand your hiring needs and processes.
Internship development & support (including best practices on offering virtual internships)
Receive assistance in jumpstarting your internship opportunities. Internships can be posted on Handshake and employers can also host special information sessions ahead of their internship recruitment cycle. Interested in a project-based micro-internship? We are here to help. Resources and assistance can be provided to organizations who are developing a job description or an entire internship experience. These experiential learning opportunities offer a great way to connect with potential future employees while providing students an opportunity to gain professional experience. View resources.
