ZIPD Business Career Expo '22

Employers

Commonwealth students are determined, hard-working, and eager to learn!

Consider the many ways in which alumni and community employers have partnered with us to move our students into professional roles for their company.

Recruit Our Students

To recruit students from any of our locations, create a Handshake profile and connect with us to post internship & job opportunities, register for career expos, post your company's events, and correspond with CU students & alumni.

Prefer to come to campus and meet our students in person? Fill out the Interview and On-campus Recruiting Request form.

Have questions or need help? Email us at recruit@commonwealthu.edu or call 570-484-2181.

Mentor Our Students

Students can learn a great deal about professionalism or the day-to-day life in certain industries from the folks who live and work in those spaces.  Providing a career experience like a Career Road Trip or an internship allows you to mentor a new workforce demographic while connecting with prospective hires and getting the word out about your company. 

You can also host a student for a shadow or on-site observation, or connect with them via an informational interview.

Email Darwin Kysor for more information and to be connected with the right faculty or staff member.

“My experiences with them have been out of this world. They are curious, responsive, ask great questions, and want to connect with team members, and that is fantastic. Some of the most thoughtful follow-up messages I’ve ever received have come from B.U. students, and we take notice.”

“B.U. students are very well prepared, and we see them continually be top performers. When we talk with them at campus events, they are ambitious. They have lofty goals, and that matches our ‘promote from within’ mentality.”

“The idea that you need to have studied at a big-name school is evolving toward investing in partnerships that give us access to great students everywhere. There is a lot of power in getting to know people. About a third of our hires come from referrals.”

“You see a lot of grassroots grit and determination and will power coming out of BU students. Many are first-gen like I was, and I wanted to prove to myself and my family that I wasn’t going to fail. It’s something Intangible that you can’t teach people – the 'dig your heels in’ and succeeded no matter what."

"Anytime we come to campus to share our brand and recruit, faculty and staff are always supportive and make sure the students coming to the expos are well prepared. The students ask questions, are dressed professionally, and present themselves well. [BU students] always stand out in my mind."
