Employer Information
Serving students' career-related needs is our primary goal so by nature, we are the liaison that links students and employers. As an employer, working with us is like having an extra arm: we help you accomplish your own goals, be it distributing your employment opportunities, promoting your organization, or gaining exposure to UAF.

Information sessions serve to promote your organization, meet with students face-to-face, and gain exposure to the UAF community. It also allows students to explore the career choices available to their majors, and to learn more about the real-life application of their studies.
