Working together to connect talent to opportunity

Our Employer Partner Program helps employers - like you - build brand recognition, develop a pipeline of talent, and recruit students and alums with the skills and experiences needed to meet your hiring needs.

Employer Partnership Program

At UVM, we’re cultivating top talent through engaged learning that fosters innovation and a global mindset. Our students are known for their dedication to making a difference. Many would love to call Vermont home, while others are eager to spread their wings. Their career aspirations are varied and rich, and our Career Center team is eager to connect them with you!

Starting July 2023, our three (3) tiered Partnership Program will maximize your recruiting success through a robust set of options to connect with campus, build relationships, increase brand recognition, and develop a pipeline of talent that serves your workforce needs. At the heart of our program is a Personalized Recruiting Strategy Session - offered to partners at every level - to map out a year of events/activities aligned with your hiring cycles.
