Employers

Career Services offers you the chance to recruit students on campus for a 2-4 hour block. We will provide a table and chairs; you provide literature and applications. Face-to-face interaction maximizes the chance that you will meet candidates who can be a good fit for your organization, something you can't often pick up from an application.

For more information, please contact us via phone or email.

Career Services offers several career fairs throughout the year. Our partner employers consider these events invaluable for building a pipeline of applicants and filling critical needs. To register for career fairs at HFC, visit Handshake.

Career fairs annual schedule

• Fall Semester: Career Expo open to all majors, graduates, and the general public.
• Winter Semester: Various program-specific career events open to HFC students and graduates.

Would you like to be the Main Sponsor for our next Career Expo?

You will get your logo on marketing materials, mentions on social media, and a prime spot at the Career Expo. Contact us directly or register as a Sponsor at HFC Job Leads.

A great way to expand your marketing reach while helping students is to sponsor a Career Services workshop. You will increase awareness of your industry while giving students an opportunity for great interactions with your business. Contact us to find out about upcoming workshops, or to suggest one.

Sponsorship options for our Career Fairs are on the online registration form. Sponsorships include your registration fee for the event. Registration for our career fairs take place through Handshake under the Events section.

Employers can post full-time, part-time, summer/seasonal, paid internships or cooperative education (co-op) positions on HFC Handshake. If you are creating a new position and are uncertain about the type of position, please review the chart below.

If your internship is a paid position, and you have already completed the job description, simply sign in to Handshake.

From there, navigate to the "Jobs" tab, and post as you would a normal position. Please be sure to include the end date or duration of the internship in your posting.

Additional internship help

If you are unsure whether an internship is the type of position you are looking to fill, refer to our chart. The chart describes the differences between direct hire, internships, and co-op positions. If you still have questions, contact Career Services. Or, visit the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) website. There you'll find internship guidelines that will help you determine compensation, supervision, scope of the position, and other helpful details.

If you have never created an internship program, view the Internship Toolkit compiled by the Michigan Career Educators and Employers Association (MCEEA). This resource contains valuable information for setting up your program.

Please note that some of the goals can cross over into others. For example, a co-op or internship might lead to a direct hire. Structure your positions according to both near-term and long-term goals.
