Employees at U of I

Employees are a key and integral pillar to students learning, experiences and overall success. Experiential learning is a High Impact Practice (HIP) and therefore is a necessary part of a student's development throughout their college career. If you're eager to encourage students to gain experience while in school, there are different opportunities to guide them toward:

1. Encourage students to find experiential learning opportunities such as internships, undergraduate research, attend Networking Nights/Career Fairs and more. Employees can learn more about the opportunities available to our students
2. Invite Employers to the classroom
3. Encourage students to utilize networking

Showing our Thanks

Career Services recognizes employees through the Career Impact Award as a way to support them in their efforts to support students. View recent recipients and learn more about the award.
