Networking Receptions
Organizations are invited to host networking receptions and social events throughout the year to meet and interact with talented students either across a college or within a particular department. Whether it’s an information lunch, cocktail receptions (graduate students), or more formal dinner, we welcome the opportunity to help you with your plans.
Research Symposiums
Symposiums provide students with the opportunity to interact and exchange research ideas with colleagues and industry leaders. Through sponsorship of a symposium, you will have unique opportunity to support and attend the collaborative event and contribute to the development of future leaders. Contact Graduate Career Services.
If interested in providing food for students during your event, see the University Catering Website for all On-Campus Catering Options, including a wide menu available to non-university organizations.
Industry Nights
Our team partners with employers, faculty, and student groups to offer industry focused networking events for our students throughout the year. If you are interested in participating in one of the events, please contact hire@nd.edu for information on any upcoming events.
Student Clubs
Connecting with student clubs is a great way to let students know who you are! Reach out directly to the club leaders to partner on an event or share specific job opportunities.
Mock Interviews
A Mock Interview is an opportunity for our students to complete a practice interview to help them learn and prepare for actual interviews throughout the course of the year. If your organization is interested in scheduling mock interviews log-in to Handshake ► Click Interviews ► Request Interview Schedule ► Choose Open Schedule. Email Jamie Thomson with questions.
Career Treks
Career Treks are a career exploration initiative that allows students to travel to various cities in order to gain insight into career fields of interest. These immersive experiences provide behind the scenes opportunities for students to engage with an organization, shadow professionals in the workplace, learn about various career paths, meet with Notre Dame alumni, and more. Throughout the year our students travel to Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and New York to participate in Career Treks. If you would like to host a group of students at your office, please contact our office.
International Students
If your organization is advertising to fill positions, you may receive resumes from international students who need sponsorship. Don't dismiss those applications out of hand; take a closer look! The precedent for international students to obtain temporary U.S. work authorization is longstanding and well-established, and the application process is straightforward. The International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) office at Notre Dame works with students to facilitate employment authorization, which is approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service.
The Center for Career Development, in coordination with Notre Dame International, has put together an easy-to-use and downloadable guide "Hiring the International Student" to help clarify the work authorization process.
