Position Referrals
Faculty members are frequently approached by outside organizations for referrals of students for employment. Faculty can forward information regarding potential research and internship/co-op opportunities to The Shriver Center. The Professional Practice staff can assist in recruiting qualified candidates to fill these positions. Recruiting efforts include the posting of positions on PlacePro, our on-line database for student resumes and open positions; targeted emails; presentations to student groups; pre-screening candidates; and coordination of information sessions and interview schedules.
Student Advising
As you work with students during their academic advising session, you can refer them to our office for an internship, co-op, or service-learning experience, and linked credit options.
