Engage with Joint Program students
A great way to promote your internships and full-time jobs is to meet with students. We offer various opportunities to interact with students.
Internships & Co-ops
Intern and Co-op positions allow employers to evaluate potential permanent hires over an extended period of time and provide a continual pathway of bright engineers.
Host a virtual information session
Informational presentation by an engineer or company recruiter. Information sessions offer students the opportunity to get to know your organization and learn about future employment possibilities.
Tour
Invite students for a virtual company tour and visit with your engineers.
Attend an UMSL Career Fair
UMSL holds internship and job fairs in the fall and spring. Contact Ashley Horton Wilmsmeier for more information on attending an UMSL Career Fair.
Employer virtual resume review
Provide students the opportunity to get their résumés reviewed by your company recruiters. Students gain a different perspective through the eyes of employers, and get to know your company.
Advertise your events
Tell students about your events and upcoming opportunities to learn more about your company. Contact Mary McManus for more information on advertising your events.
