Career Engagement Opportunities (CEOs)
Career Engagement Opportunities (CEOs) are a great way to engage with engineering students and continue to build your brand. CEOs are hosted through the ECRC as well as our engineering student organizations. Information regarding ECRC Company Days and Student Organization Collaborations is included below.
ECRC Company Days
Join the ECRC in supporting our students’ development while at the same time enhancing your campus presence! Company Days provide an opportunity to have casual conversations with Michigan Engineering students to enhance your organization’s visibility, increase brand awareness, and allow students to explore careers and day to day operations within your organization/industry. We encourage you to consider inviting Michigan Engineering alums and/or engineers from your organization to participate in this event! Contact your ECRC Career Services Manager to learn more.
Student Organization Collaborations
We encourage you to partner with student organizations as part of your recruitment strategy with the College of Engineering. Your company will have the opportunity to engage with talent and showcase why students should work for you through unique, interactive events such as:

Interviews
The ECRC will support on-campus interviews during the Fall and Winter semesters. Click here to learn more about available interview dates and services.
Hiring International Students
It is not uncommon for employers to hire international students. Fortunately, it’s not a difficult process for students to gain permission to work within the United States. In fact, most of the international students you may be interested in as candidates are on non-immigrant F-1 and J-1 student visas. This means that they can work under certain conditions.

ECRC Corporate Partner Program
The ECRC Corporate Partner Program is an opportunity for employers to support the ECRC in our effort to prepare students for their transition from college to career and to expand the employer’s brand on campus.
