Many employers recruit new staff regularly from graduating Art Institute students. Career Services advisors have ongoing communication with employers through mail, email, and phone contact to keep area employers current with our educational programs and the pool of talented graduates available to them. Campus recruiting events offer an opportunity to recruit students for part-time work and for full-time employment after graduation. At the quarterly Portfolio Show, employers can meet students who are about to graduate and see their work.

Here are just some of the ways the Career Services Department makes it easy for employers to find the talent they need:

• Provide résumés and portfolios of qualified candidates for review
• Quarterly events for employers to meet culinary graduates
• Quarterly Portfolio Show for employers to meet design and media arts graduates
• Job Fairs for employers to present part-time job opportunities to new students
• Posting of part-time positions on the student listserv
• Visits by career advisors to employer facilities
• Assistance with scheduling on and off-site interviews
• Screening of graduates for entry-level and advanced positions
