On-campus interviewing is an effective vehicle to interview and hire ������̳ students and alumni who are seeking full-time, co-op, or internship opportunities. Companies may choose an open call session for candidates based on their criteria. Companies can pre-select candidates to interview through Handshake or by receiving vetted resume. Please reach out to our Associate Director of Employer Engagement and Outreach Celestine McGee at cmcgee1@illinoistech.edu if you are interested in doing an on-campus interview session.

Employer spotlights also may be used as a prerequisite for an interview. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program at ������̳ combines students from disciplines across campus working as a team to take on real-world problems. Teams often collaborate with businesses, sponsors, or community partners to provide innovative solutions to complex problems. Student teams consist of third- and fourth-year students from mixed programs and disciplines. Each semester, IPRO teams exhibit their work and are evaluated by judges.

This program establishes partnerships with the community, companies, and alumni to provide discourse on global workforce practices, highlight trends and culture, and engage with the campus community. These methods help students focuson mapping out their career path and gain a deeper understanding of their chosen field. Thought leaders from a variety of industries are invited to share their valuable insight on effective strategies for personal and professional development, the culture of the business world, and provide tips on how to skillfully succeed. Corporations and organizations can register to partner with ������̳ departments and student organizations to provide the ultimate illuminating experience.
