Employers seeking candidates for full-time, professional, entry-level positions are invited to participate in the Senior Recruitment Program where we facilitate the collection of resumes and scheduling of on-campus interview dates (if applicable). Employers seeking WCSU students for co-ops and internships, please check here. We welcome employers to conduct interviews and present information sessions on the WCSU campus to heighten their visibility within our university community and meet students first-hand.
Are you a business owner or a company/organization employee in need of an intern or employee? Post available internships and jobs for WCSU students and alumni on HANDSHAKE.
Career Fairs
Career Fairs and Expos are a great way to interact with our students. Students of all years are encouraged to attend for recruitment and/or learn about the opportunities available to them, make connections and expand their network.
Bi-Annual Career Fairs: Each academic year, we host two full career fairs: one in the fall and one in the spring. Each career fair is open to all majors, and all students and features 80+ employers looking to fill internship opportunities, full-time, part-time, positions, as well as seasonal jobs. Our next Career Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25th, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the O’Neill Center, Westside Campus. Many industries are represented to ensure a wide range of job and internship possibilities for all students.
If you are interested in being a part of any of these events and are not currently in our job board database, HANDSHAKE, please fill out the Career Fair Employer Interest Form and we will review the information for consideration, and email you directions. Invitations to employers are by invite only and all correspondence will be sent via the HANDSHAKE database.
