Employer Partner Program

Power your workforce with UVM Talent

UVM students are career ready – they graduate with real-world experience and are ready to contribute to your organization from day one. We cultivate top talent through engaged learning that fosters innovation and a global mindset. Students have varied backgrounds, experiences and are known for their dedication to making a difference.  

Strategic Alignment

Each academic year, we work with you to tailor a recruitment strategy to support your hiring goals, helping you select career fairs, networking events, and hiring opportunities that will broaden access to campus and deepen relationships with students and alums with the skills and experiences that meet your needs.  

Employer Partner Program (EPP)

Three Tiers. One goal - your recruiting success. The Employer Partner Program will maximize your recruiting success and return on investment through robust options to connect with campus, build relationships, increase brand recognition, and develop a pipeline of talent that serves your workforce needs.  

Three tiers for Employer Partner Program: Catamount, Green, Gold

This is a fee-for-service campus recruiting program. Fees are not eligible for tax deduction.

Savings: We are proud to offer a $500 savings to nonprofits, government agencies, and woman-, LGBTQ-, POC- owned businesses. 

Partner Satisfaction

“This has been such a fruitful partnership. We got a lot of great feedback from our hiring managers on the great candidates coming from UVM. At a hiring orientation, so many new employees come up to me and said ‘Oh, I remember you from the UVM Career Fair.” 

 ~ Aidan Warhall, Howard Center 

“I love that we were introduced to this program and how we have been supported. The newsletter and visibility we get from the Employer Partner Program is fantastic.” 

~ Erin Niles, Consolidated Electrical Distributors (CED)
