Are you looking for a better way to match your employer partners with diverse students?

Overview

You know it’s important to put your employer partners in front of your diverse students. But events that reach the most students, such as panels and info sessions, may not resonate with your students as they have in the past.

Join us online to hear how UNC Charlotte has created a targeted approach to matching employers with diverse students – one focused on sustainability and quality, not quantity. You will learn how UNC Charlotte:

  • Created and uses a survey to assess their employer partners’ needs, so they can match students with intention
  • Retooled an existing program (Career Treks), which brings students to employers so the students can witness the work involved, and as a result, better meets the needs of its diverse students and employer partners while also managing its own resources effectively
  • Built a referral system with the student diversity groups on campus to make finding diverse students on campus quicker and easier for employers

Who should attend?

Career services and employer relations professionals who are looking to build more meaningful and intentional diversity recruitment events with their employer partners will benefit from this webcast.
