Let Us Help You! Here's Why ...
Liability
Referring employers to the Center for Career and Leadership Development can reduce your liability in understanding hiring ethics and protocols.
Long-term Relationship Building
Your referral enables the Center for Career and Leadership Development to develop new employer relationships or strengthen existing ones.
Student Access to Opportunities
Employers are asked to create an account in Handshake, our online career management tool. In doing so, students and alumni can gain access to company information, job postings, internship and co-op opportunities and more.
Tracking
By tracking employer, student and alumni data in Handshake, the Center for Career and Leadership Development collects valuable information that allows us to attract new employers to the university and land more ODU students in successful part-time, internships, co-ops and jobs.
