Employer Registration Through Handshake.
Employer registration is open Friday, Oct. 23 at 8 a.m. through Friday, Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. To better align employer hiring needs with the internship and job-seeking interests of our cadets, registration is NOT first-come, first-served. We are accepting interested employers from all industries through an open registration and subsequent selection process. Employers will be notified by Friday November 13th regarding selection. Those not selected will have the option to join the waitlist and/or select a Workforce Tuesday for the fall (prior to opening the series to all other employers).
