Our DEP program is designed to assist those employers who would like to raise student awareness of their organization on campus throughout the year. Becoming a U of I Distinguished Employer Partner will allow you to consistently recruit high-quality students from the University of Idaho.
Brand recognition is critical to your organization’s success in the marketplace. It is equally critical among top students. When you become a Distinguished Employer Partner, your organization will become a “name brand” on the U of I campus. Instead of looking for our top graduates and interns, they will be looking for you.
There are three annual spending thresholds that will achieve Distinguished Employer Partner (DEP) status for the following year: $3,000 (Bronze), $5,000 (Silver), and $7,000 (Gold)
All DEPs receive the following benefits:
- Recognition on the DEP wall in the Career Services office
- Regular recognition as a DEP on plasma screens in various facilities across campus
- Company profile, link, and recognition on the Career Services website
- Priority for on-campus interviews, info session dates/rooms, and e-mail blast send dates
- Recognition in the Career Services’ “Thank You Distinguished Employer Partners” ad ran twice per year in the U of I student newspaper
- Recognition as a DEP on the jumbotron screen during Career Fairs
- Recognition as a DEP on major Career Services marketing materials throughout the year
Discounts are available for multi-year agreements. For more information, contact Career Services at careerservices@uidaho.edu or 208-885-6121.
