Involvement and Networking Opportunities
Participate in mock interviews
Mock interviews with actual company representatives are among the most popular activities at the Carson Center. These interviews represent a valuable opportunity for students to polish their interview skills and learn more about a particular company or industry. Participating in mock interviews also enables employers to identify candidates they might want to interview for real positions.
Host company presentations
Make company presentations to introduce your organization and build student interest in available opportunities.
Meet with students
Schedule a visit with particular groups of students, whether at a club meeting or in the classroom. This opportunity is available on an as-needed basis and is coordinated with faculty and club leaders each semester. Add your company representative to our speaker list early in the semester.
See a list of student clubs and organizations here.
Present professional development workshops
Employers are welcome to conduct professional development workshops for students. The topics could include, but are not limited to, business ethics and etiquette, industry trends, interview strategies, and resume preparation.
Meet with Carson Center staff
The Carson Center staff are happy to welcome alumni and organization representatives to the Center to discuss opportunities for networking and involvement with our students. We would love to introduce our programs, discuss technology capabilities, and give a tour of the Center.
Hire company campus ambassadors
Many companies and organizations find it beneficial to hire students as ambassadors to serve as a liaison between the company and students on campus. These ambassadors speak to students and clubs, host company workshops, recruit students for interviews, represent companies at career fairs, and raise awareness about the company on campus.
Provide scholarships and support
Establishing scholarships or supporting CB programs enable organizations to gain recognition and build a valuable association with Washington State University while positively impacting students’ college experiences.
Advertise internships and full-time positions
Post internship and job announcements through WSU CareerLink.Â
Participate in Career Opportunity Night (CON-nect)
Introduce your company at this bi-annual event where you can network with or recruit talented business students.
