Info for Employers & Recruiters

Employers can advertise an internship or job opportunity on Handshake, our online career platform. These opportunities are seen directly by the students. Employers can also view student profiles to search for candidates. Learn more about posting jobs and internships on Handshake.

Converse’s Center for Career Development adheres to the NACE Principles for Professional Practice for Career Services and Employment Professionals and expects employers to do the same. These principles are available on the National Association of Colleges and Employers website.

Our Internship Program encourages students to explore their educational and professional goals in a real-world setting.

Students can complete:

1. Credit-bearing internships during the fall, winter (January), spring or summer semesters.
2. Micro-internships, which are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those given to new hires or interns. These can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off.

Give a presentation about your company or organization and promote current employment opportunities. An employer information session is a great opportunity for you to get in front of a targeted group of students. These sessions can take place in the classroom or in a private meeting room on campus. Students have the opportunity to ask representatives questions regarding their specific company/organization.

Interested in interviewing students for current or future job and internship opportunities? The Center for Career Development is happy to organize on-campus recruiting opportunities for employers wishing to interview students for a job or internship. The employer can choose to collect the student resumes through Handshake, our online career platform, or they can be collected by a member of the Center. Once the resumes are reviewed, the interview schedule can be completed by the employer or a member of the Center.
