Recruitment Services
The Career Services Manager can assist with the recruitment of talented professionals by:
- Advertising your organisation and positions to all current students and alumni.
- Receiving resumes and pre-screening them for your requirements
- Arranging interviews, appointment times and offices for on-campus recruitment
- Arranging Videoconference for Interviews if you are unable to attend campus
- Networking Events
Each year, the school hosts several networking events to provide a convenient forum for employers to meet our graduate students, faculty, staff and alumni. These informal cocktail-type receptions have proven successful in targeting qualified Heinz student candidates for permanent and/or internship employment, and many employers arrange interviews the following day at their sites.
Employers are encouraged to sponsor site visits for students to visit and learn more about their organizations, and you are welcome to bring a small supply of company literature to the event, as well as your business cards to pass out to students you meet.
Other Opportunities to be involved
Serve as Client for a Student Project
Project courses are an integral part of education at the Heinz School. Most students are required to complete a semester-long "Systems Synthesis" project prior to graduation. Projects have made a significant impact on local, national and international communities. Organizations who wish to sponsor and/or serve as a client for a Systems Synthesis project should contact the appropriate program director.
