This is a great way to follow up with candidates after meeting them at the fair. Schedule interviews at the University Career Center or the Engineering Career Services Office.
  • Schedule an Employer Session (Virtual or In-Person): Invite students to learn more about your organization and your hiring needs. Learn more about scheduling a session in the School of Engineering or at the University Career Center/Student Union.
  • Host an Intern For A Day (Virtual or In-Person): Intern for a Day provides UMD students first-hand exposure to your organization and career field through in-person job shadowing experiences or virtual informational interviews. We welcome representatives from your organization to consider participating in this high-impact experience! If you are an employer who is interested in participating in Intern for a Day, review the Intern for A Day Host Guide. You may also reach out to ifad@umd.edu indicating your interest to be added to our email list and receive the host registration form (if we are actively registering hosts at that time).
