Hire for Co-ops and Internships
Experiential education is a key part of developing our talented College of Engineering students into successful engineers. Co-ops and internships are periods of professionally supervised engineering-related work experiences that supplement academic coursework. By hiring for these positions employers can engage early with these talented engineers. Early engagement allows companies to identify talented candidates directly through on-the-job performance. This allows companies to make informed hiring decisions as well as an increased ability to retain these talented candidates. Once hired these candidates are more likely to have higher levels of productivity in entry-level positions with reduced training. These are just a few of the potential benefits for your company.

Additional Ways to Connect with Students
Creating a presence on campus can greatly boost a companies ability to engage with and attract talented candidates. Name recognition and company image are very important when it comes to being getting the attention of busy college students. Students are much more likely to engage with a company they have seen or heard about. A couple of the great additional ways to connect with these students are by engaging with student organizations, creating a descriptive and eye-catching CyHire profile, and engaging with the College of Engineering through partnership opportunities.
