Evans School students value transparency, authenticity, and action. The more our students know about your work, the more excited they are to work for you. The best way to expand your organization’s footprint is through engaging actively with Evans School students through a myriad of options. If you are not actively hiring but would like to engage and create a relationship with the Evans School, we have multiple opportunities to still connect with our students.
Share your Expertise
Employers may be interested in hosting a recruiting session at the Evans School to talk about their internship, fellowship, educational program, or full-time recruiting programs. We recommend that an organization use up to half of the time with students to discuss examples of current policy work and/or walk through a case study of a typical question or project that an intern or staff might be faced with in your organization. You are welcome to host these in-person or on Zoom, and we can advertise the event amongst our students.
We host Career Pathway Panels open to all Evans students to learn about how professionals arrived in their current careers. We welcome Evans alumni especially to share about their paths, people with nontraditional paths, and with diverse/identities.
Our students enjoy the opportunity to see organizations in action. Welcome the next generation of public service leaders to your workplace. A job visit might include a tour of your facilities, the opportunity to talk with employees in various departments, and time with your hiring team to learn about your recruiting practices and what you seek in candidates. Provide a glimpse into your field, strengthen connections between your organization and the Evans School, and show students what is special about your job and organization.
Evans School students are interested in all types of policy and are excited to learn about the ways that various organizations, policymakers, or public administrators are responding to timely issues facing our communities. The Career Development team welcomes policy professionals who would like to engage with Evans School students by presenting a policy talk. This is a good fit for organizations who may not have active job openings, but are interested in building a long-term relationship with the Evans School and want to raise their organizational profile among the student body. We encourage folks from more specialized areas like tech policy, educational policy, and international policy.
Many of our students are looking for personal insight to explore career options or navigate the job search process. Informational interviews allow students to practice networking, make contact with a professional in their field, and create a 1-1 connection. This is also a great way to garner a relationship with the Evans school if you are not actively recruiting and cannot attend our events.
