Academic Programs: Clarkson’s wide range of programs in business, engineering, the sciences, humanities, pre-law, pre-med, physical therapy, and many others are shaped in partnership with business and industry. The coursework is always fresh and relevant. We also provide study abroad, extracurricular, co-op and internship opportunities that work in parallel with a student’s coursework.

On-Campus Recruiting: From mid-October to mid-December, and again from mid-February to late March, employers from across the country visit Clarkson to interview students for initial face-to-face screening. Our office will organize and market your entire visit - including information sessions.

Resume Collections: Companies may access students’ resumes directly from our office, or through our Web database using KnightLink. This referral service is available year-round.

Career Fairs: Clarkson sponsors a Career Fair each semester, regularly attracting a capacity crowd of 100 corporate, industrial and governmental partners. Any student can attend the fair as they search for a co-op, internship or full-time position.

KnightLink:  KnightLink connects students, alumni and employers with information on full-time jobs, internships, co-op positions and mentoring. Employers can post positions and search a database of job-seeking students and alumni. Student KnightLink includes thousands of jobs and internships targeted toward college job seekers.  Students have the ability to publish their resumes to thousands of top employers and companies can post information about co-op, internship, and full-time job opportunities.

Co-op: In the co-op, or cooperative education program, undergraduates have the chance to spend a semester working for a company, integrating their classroom studies with learning through a productive work experience. Students build and refine their technical and business skills as young professionals. Our students have a strong work ethic and are immersed in a strong, technologically rich curriculum. You can provide the day-to-day work experience for promising young professionals – and help fill your business needs.
