Internships & Co-ops

Internship programs are beneficial for both employers and students. A successful internship provides meaningful experience directly related to a student’s career choice while applying curricular experience to industry application. Effective internship programs enhance a company’s reputation on campus, create a year-round source of highly motivated pre-professionals, and provide a proven, cost-effective way to recruit and evaluate potential employees. Our staff can provide guidance on starting an internship program.  

If you are unsure as to whether you must pay an intern, refer to the Department of Labor's guidance under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Career Fairs & Next-Day Interviews

Engineering & Computing career fairs are hosted bi-annually in the fall and spring semesters. With attendance rates at more than 1000 students during the fall semester and more than 700 students during the spring semester, there’s hardly a better way to maximize exposure to KU engineering and computing students. 

Next-day interviews are conveniently hosted on-campus the day after the fall and spring career fairs.  You can schedule interview times as you meet students at the career fair to keep the interest of top candidates.  Make the most of your trip to campus by requesting next-day interview space as part of your career fair registration.  

On-Campus Interviews & Information Sessions

Conducting interviews on-campus will draw attention to your organizational hiring needs. On-campus interviews provide career center support in posting a position, promoting the opportunity, collecting application material, and managing the interview schedule. The online recruiting platform at HireJayhawks.com simplifies this process. Reserve an on-campus interview date and start the process by contacting the Engineering Career Center today.

Information sessions educate students on the opportunities, culture, and achievements of your company. Info sessions are often held the day before on-campus interveiws to share key features of an organization to help students prepare for their interviews the following day, as well as maximize a trip to campus by promoting the company brand to a larger audience.
