Local employers are invited to visit with each of the interns to hear their stories and to build their network of qualified candidates for potential internships or prospective employment.
Employer campus visits
Employers schedule recruiting tabling events on weekly basis inthe Student Union to meet students and let them know about part-time, full-time, seasonal, and internship opportunities. Check out the schedule of who’s coming on Purple Briefcase, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Jobs and internships
When beginning your search for job and internship opportunities it is important to have three basic criteria established: industry and hiring timeline, function, and compensation. Knowing these will help you begin to search for opportunities of interest.
Real-world experiences are often the best way to ignite your interests, clarify your goals and develop skills. Through the ELCE’s experiential opportunities, you can build your resume, hone in on your areas of interest and build your network within the field you hope to enter upon graduation. Whether you are studying studio art, on track to join a big company, or entirely undecided, internships can be a beneficial experience.

Campus employment opportunities for students allow you to work on campus and earn a paycheck. Employment is limited to 20 hours per week when school is in session. For more information, please email the Director of Experiential Learning and Career Education, Sean Lybeck-Smoak, to learn more.
