We have a committee that will review your information and will get back to you as to the status of your request.

On-Campus Recruiting Application

On-campus recruiting requests must be submitted 30 days prior to your recruiting date. Vanguard University gives priority to groups that have partnered with Vanguard in the past through one of Career Services’ annual resource fairs.

Registration

Registration for all fairs is available through Handshake and open approximately six-weeks prior to the event date. 

There are two table options for employers: $100 for a for-profit and $75 for a non-profit.

We believe that one of the best ways for students to succeed is to explore and experience opportunities first hand. Our Job Shadow Program allows current students to meet with current professionals to explore opportunities in a given industry while giving the employer access to potential candidates for internship and job openings. 

Our upcoming Job Shadow Program will take place between March 18-22, 2024. 

Learn More

Our students are encouraged both in and out of the classroom to engage in their desired vocation field throughout their academic career. Two of these avenues are through:

• Company visits in which faculty bring students to tour and learning from those in industry-specific companies, and
• Informational interviews in which students meet with a professional in their desired field to learn more about the vocation, additional schooling, and steps to take towards the profession.

If you or your company is interested, please contact careerservices@vanguard.edu 

By offering internships to Vanguard University students, you are helping train and develop the next generation of professionals. Paid internships are an excellent addition to your organization, as they give you the chance to:

• Find potential future employees who are motivated to succeed
• Gain new perspectives from a diverse student demographic
• Complete important projects more efficiently
• Enhance the visibility of your organization on campus and in the community
