UMaine CareerLink system.
The University has more than 50 academic departments within the five colleges of the University (College of Engineering; Business/Public Policy/Health; Liberal Arts & Sciences; Natural Sciences/Forestry/Agriculture; and Education & Human Development) that offer academic credit and faculty supervision for students seeking work/learning opportunities with employers. The Career Center is the point of contact for new employers who wish to establish internship positions and/or engineering cooperative education positions for University of Maine students with their companies. Advantages for employers who hire student interns include:
- An inexpensive method to get special projects done, using upper-class students trained in a specific discipline.
- An opportunity to infuse the workplace with talent and fresh ideas
- An opportunity to provide low-cost training and screening, resulting in less cost-per-hire, and a way to hire experienced, full-time employees after graduation who have already demonstrated a “fit” with the company
- An opportunity to provide service to the University of Maine by hiring student interns
- Student employees earning credit are covered by University liability insurance
- The Career Center and Department Faculty Coordinators advertise your positions, provide resume referrals for your consideration, and assist with logistics, troubleshooting, and problem-solving as needed.
On-Campus Information Sessions/Visits
The Career Center can help increase a company’s visibility on the University of Maine campus by scheduling information sessions for employers to discuss job opportunities with students.
