University Talent Acquisition
Connect with BGSU students and graduates while building a stronger workforce for the future. Through meaningful industry partnerships, we create opportunities that prepare talent to thrive from day one.
Building Strategic Talent Partnerships
Partnerships often evolve over time. Organizations may begin by recruiting a specific subset of students, then expanding into additional classroom engagement, experiential learning, Career Accelerators, advisory collaboration and other strategic initiatives as shared priorities emerge.
Strong partnerships are built through shared goals, mutual investment and ongoing collaboration. Together, we identify shared priorities and develop engagement strategies that strengthen your organization's workforce goals and long-term talent pipeline while advancing BGSU's commitment to preparing career-ready graduates and supporting regional economic growth.
Every partnership is unique. As we learn more about your organization's priorities and where they align with the University's strengths, collaboration can take many forms, creating meaningful value for your organization, our students and the communities we serve.
Career Fairs and Recruiting Events
Build relationships with students actively exploring internships, co-ops and full-time careers through campus-wide and industry-specific recruiting events.
Internships, Co-ops and Experiential Learning
Collaborate with students through meaningful work experiences that strengthen your future talent pipeline while connecting classroom learning with real-world application.
Applied Projects
Leverage BGSU talent to solve your current business challenges and gain an early look at the students who could become your next great hires.
Career Forge Job Board
Promote internship, co-op and full-time opportunities to BGSU students and upcoming graduates while increasing your organization's visibility throughout the student experience.
Classroom and Campus Engagement
Share your organization's expertise through classroom engagement, networking events and employer experiences that strengthen connections with students before traditional recruiting begins.
Engage Students Earlier Through Career Accelerators
Traditional recruiting often begins when students start searching for internships or full-time employment. Career Accelerators create opportunities for organizations and BGSU to build meaningful relationships with students much earlier in their academic journey through career exploration, mentorship, company visits, applied projects and industry engagement.
This innovative collaborative approach helps students better understand career pathways while giving organizations the opportunity to contribute to talent development, strengthen workforce pipelines and build lasting connections with future professionals.
