Connect With Students

Let students know about career opportunities at your organization, or give a "tech talk" or educational presentation on a professional topic that is relevant to your field. Information Sessions take place during our students' 12 p.m. lunch break. This is a great opportunity for you to recruit Heinz College students directly or spread awareness of your brand and professional sector.

Hamburg Hall features a suite of interview rooms that are reserved for organizations who wish to meet with and interview our students. We offer the rooms free of charge for prospective employers, and we can schedule a series of interviews at dates and times that are convenient for recruiters from your organization.

Office Hours at Heinz College provide you with an opportunity to get to know our students in small groups or via one-on-one meetings. These 15-minute sessions are more casual than formal interviews, and they offer you a chance to field student questions in a laid-back setting. Most organizations choose to hold Office Hours immediately following a lunchtime Information Session.

Heinz College and Carnegie Mellon University host numerous career fairs throughout the academic year, at our main campus in Pittsburgh and throughout the United States. Learn more about upcoming career fairs and RSVP to attend here.

We invite you to volunteer your time and expertise in conducting mock interviews with our students. Mock interviews help you gain visibility for your organization within our student population, and they help our students gain and improve valuable interview skills.

Collaborate with our students on a semester-long project, solving a complex problem and working with potential hires. Learn more about capstone projects and submit a project proposal here.

We invite you to host small groups of Heinz College students at your office. This is a great opportunity for you to introduce prospective employees to your organizational culture, and to give students a first-hand look at the skills they will need to thrive within your organization.
