BY THE NUMBERS

DIVERSITY IN RECRUITMENT

Is your organization trying to increase diversity hiring of interns? While studies conducted by NACE found that 88% of employers indicated having diversity recruiting programs, only "41.4% of respondents to NACE’s 2022 Internship & Co-op Survey felt their recruiting was effective in achieving a diverse cohort of interns." Read about steps to boost diversity hiring of interns.

CAREER WEEK

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

Career Week prepares rising juniors, graduating seniors, and grad students with the skills necessary for their full-time job search. This year there are opportunities for employers to sponsor (for heightened marketing and increased student engagement) or simply participate in "Network-ish", the drop in-style networking event happening Thursday, September 8th. Registration will open in early July. Have questions? Reach out to Rachel Kaschner.

Become an ECS Partner

Support engineering students, gain maximum exposure, and benefit from top-tier services.

Interested in getting more engaged with ECS and our students? Then consider becoming an ECS Partner! Our Partners are key champions of Engineering Career Services and the engineering students we serve. We offer 3 levels of sponsorship that directly support career-focused events and resources for engineering students. Being a Partner provides you with maximum exposure on campus and offers you the benefit of additional services and expertise from ECS. We also offer many free services such as job and internship postings in Handshake, OCI scheduling, tabling (certain restrictions apply), and strategic consultations with the ECS Employer Services Team. If you’re interested, please reach out to Amy Thaci no later than July 15th, and we can start the conversation. Thanks for your support!
