Other Services for Employers
You'll find information below on some additional services to consider in your recruitment plan at UW-Whitewater, beyond our standard services.
Employer Sponsorship Program
UW-Whitewater Career Services' Sponsorship Program is an exclusive opportunity to build your organization's brand on our campus to reach and recruit UW-Whitewater students beyond our standard services.
Information Tables
We offer the option for employers to rent a table in the University Center common area to provide information about job and internship opportunities to our students. This option provides the most visibility to your organization with drop-by interactions. Information Tables cost $50 per day + tax, and visits are limited to 5 dates per employer per semester.
To request a date, please email or call Sarah Stolberg at stolbers@uww.edu or 262-472-1950. Please provide dates & times and alternatives in your request. We prefer a minimum of 2 weeks' notice on tabling requests. Dates are first-come, first-served and your preferred date may not be available.
Here are some helpful tips regarding tabling:
- 1 table and 2 chairs are provided within a 6 foot x 4 foot space.
- Most organizations select dates on Monday – Thursday between the hours of 10:00am – 2:00pm to reach more students in the building during the lunch hour. Fridays are not recommended.
- Food and beverages can only be provided if they are purchased through our University Catering Department. Questions about catering options and ordering should go to catering@uww.edu.
- Technology is not provided and there is no access to electricity.
- Organizations must be approved through Career Services and meet our requirements for on-campus recruitment. A table rental agreement must be signed at the time of reservation.
- Sales and requests for credit card information are prohibited.
Information Sessions
A conference room can be rented to host an information session and share details about your organization and its employment opportunities for students. This type of outreach works best when the event can be scheduled directly with students, and is typically less successful in reaching drop-in traffic as the reservable rooms are not in high-traffic areas of the University Center. We recommend Information Tables if your goal is to be more visible to reach more students. Information Session Room Rental costs between $50 – 300 per day + tax depending on room size.
To request a date, please email or call Sarah Stolberg at stolbers@uww.edu or 262-472-1950. Please provide dates & times and alternatives in your request. We prefer a minimum of 2 weeks' notice on room requests. Dates are first-come, first-served, and your preferred date/room size may not be available.
Here are some helpful tips regarding information sessions:
- Information Sessions are most successful when they are tied to another recruitment event, held in conjunction with a student organization, or when you are directly inviting students. We have seen the most success when an organization hosts a session within a few days of the semesterly Hawk Career Fair, and students are directly invited via a flyer during the fair or via direct email based on your resume collection.
- Most organizations select dates on Monday – Thursday; Fridays are not recommended.
- Students typically are in class between 9:00am – 3:00pm. The best times of day for hosting an information session include morning sessions with breakfast/coffee; sessions in the late afternoon/early evening, or extended lunch hour sessions.
- Food and beverages can only be provided if they are purchased through our University Catering Department. Questions about catering options and ordering should go to catering@uww.edu.
- Technology for presentations may be available. Please include technology needs in your request if you plan to use any.
- Organizations must be approved through Career Services and meet our requirements for on-campus recruitment. A room rental agreement must be signed at the time of reservation.
