Career Services for Employers

Your organization will have the opportunity to provide career and employment information to students seeking co-op/internship opportunities, part-time or summer professional positions, as well as full-time professional employment for graduating students and alumni.

We offer you the option to interview our students/alumni virtually!

To set up a virtual Interview, please email Mai Qazzaz and provide the following information:

• Position title
• Majors 
• Graduation date range
• GPA requirements
• Work authorization
• Job description 

You will be guided through the process and kept informed as to the status of your schedule.

If you are interested in helping our students practice by conducting mock interviews, please let Mai know that as well. This support enables our students to be more adept and comfortable when they have interviews for future positions.

We encourage employers to interact and get to know our students! If your organization would like to enhance your connections with our students - including virtually! - we offer a variety of opportunities and are open to new suggestions.

• Informational Sessions/Presentations/Panels: These events provide employers with the opportunity to share about their organization and career opportunities. Additionally, if you are interested in speaking on a panel or conducting a workshop on a specific topic, please contact Mai Qazzaz for more information.

• Employer Days:  Develop a series of interactions during the course of an extended event (i.e. employer panels, information sessions, workshops, etc.) dedicated to your organization. Contact Mai Qazzaz for more information. 

• National Society of Leadership & Success: To be inducted into this society, students must complete an orientation, leadership training, and participate in success networking teams in addition to attending speaker broadcasts. Employers can participate as speakers and networking events; for more information contact Jennifer Macleod the Chapter Advisor.  

• Alumni and Student Networking Nights: Help our students develop professional relationships with Wolverines in the workforce by joining us for networking events. Students from all majors participate, and these conversations encourage students to become more comfortable and provide opportunities for learning. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, these events will take place virtually - contact Alumni Engagement or Talent Gateway for more information.

• Talent Gateway (M)Talent Showcase: This Showcase is an opportunity for (M)Talent candidates to demonstrate how they have made connections among their academic, personal and professional goals, and to share how other students can learn from their experiences. As employers, we encourage you to attend this event to learn more about the Talent Gateway and (M)Talent directly from the students.

• UM-Dearborn Alumni: We have created a database that will help students connect with employers for informational and mock interviews as well as mentoring opportunities. Learn more on the Wolverine Mentor Collective page.

If you would like to discuss other ideas or opportunities to connect with our students please contact Mai Qazzaz.

If you are interested in hosting our students for an in-person or virtual tour of your company, please contact Mai Qazzaz.

UM-Dearborn Career Services is committed to providing students and employers with the opportunity to engage with each other to learn and network.
