TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Office of Career Services provides career planning services to all students and alumni from the University of Dayton. We coordinate career advising services, career resource materials, workshops, employer presentations, on-campus interviews, and online job postings through the Handshake system. We assist with all levels of employment including full-time positions at varying experience levels, summer and part-time jobs, on-campus employment opportunities, internships, and cooperative education positions.
University of Dayton graduates stand apart for the quality of their academic and hands-on learning experiences. Our students and alumni are active learners who have benefited from exposure to a core liberal arts education through the Common Academic Program. Dayton Flyers are also ethical and hardworking leaders who have been shaped by the charism of the Society of Mary.
This guide will provide you with a summary of the highlights from our department from the previous year, and an overview of the many partnership opportunities we have to offer. Our employer partners will find information regarding ways to enhance their campus presence. While job postings, campus interviews and career fairs are excellent ways to connect with candidates, we also welcome the opportunity to help you develop an individualized campus recruiting strategy. All partners, including students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff members, will find information related to academic programs, opportunities for campus partnerships, ways to engage with experiential learning on campus, and recent outcomes from University of Dayton of graduates as reported in the annual Flyer First Destination Survey.
On behalf of the team in Career Services and the entire University of Dayton campus community, we look forward to partnering with you!
Sincerely,
Jason C. Eckert Director of Career Services University of Dayton

COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONCooperative education integrates classroom theory with real-world experience. In this structured program, students alternate semesters of work and study. Since co-op students work full time for a semester or two at a time, co-op lends itself to more project-oriented assignments. Many co-op students stay on where they co-op to become full-time employees, as the extended work period allows organizations to assess candidate qualifications and fit prior to graduation.
WORK TERMS AND STUDY SEMESTERSWork terms and study semesters follow this general calendar:
» End of August to mid-December » Beginning of January to the end of April » Beginning of May to mid-August
Students register for co-op at the University, which maintains their full-time student status. They do not earn credit for their co-op experience, but their work-term record appears on their permanent transcript.
ENGINEERING CO-OP PROGRAMGenerally, engineering co-op students work with one employer for 3–5 work terms. For more information, contact:
Nancy Chase Director of Engineering Cooperative Education937-229-4496 | [email protected]
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES CO-OP PROGRAMTypically, business and arts and sciences majors work with one employer for 2–3 work terms. For more information, contact:
Liz Seager Associate Director, Career Services937-229-2072 | [email protected]
INTERNSHIPSInterns typically work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summer. Students can also work a full-time internship during fall or spring for one semester, while maintaining their full-time student status. This offers the flexibility to meet the needs of your organization. Most internships are paid, and some academic departments offer students credit for internships. Requirements for credit-bearing internships vary by department, and students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor or department internship coordinator to review these requirements.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENTThe University of Dayton is committed to employing students, and all University of Dayton students are eligible to apply for employment opportunities on campus.
ON-CAMPUS EMPLOYMENTA campus job is more than just a paycheck: it is one step closer to a career. Students employed on campus learn professional expectations and polish professional skills prior to working at your organization. Each year, the University offers approximately 3,000 jobs for students.
OFF-CAMPUS FEDERAL WORK STUDY COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMAt the University of Dayton, we value the opportunity to work with organizations that allow our students the chance to give back to the Dayton community and earn income to assist in their education. Qualified public or nonprofit organizations may be able to employ University of Dayton students at a low cost through the Off-Campus Federal Work Study (FWS) Community Service Program. In the FWS Community Service Program, students may be employed in positions that are designated to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income individuals, or to solve problems related to their needs.
“UD students make a great first impression. Since the process of hiring intern and entry-level students requires selecting from large numbers of individuals, making a first impression isn’t only important for me, it makes the difference between that person’s résumé making it to the top or bottom of the stack when going through the further evaluation process.”

“The 20-minute interviews were a wonderful way of getting us comfortable with the interview process in a less strenuous atmosphere than a high-stakes interview. It was great to get some exposure to a myriad of different school districts and formalize my own thoughts on the type of job I will want in the future, and where I want it.”

VENDOR PARTNERS The University
of Dayton Career
Services partners
with these
organizations to
offer top tools to
students and alumni.
“My biggest take away from the program is how connected mentoring makes me feel to the University. The sense of community at UD was a major part of the reason I chose to attend in the first place, and mentoring allows me to remain a part of that community and hopefully foster that feeling in someone else.”
—DAMON DURBIN ‘08
CONNECTING WITH STUDENTS AND ALUMNICAREER AND INTERNSHIP FAIRSPromote your organization to hundreds of bright, enthusiastic, talented and qualified candidates. Scheduled each semester, career fairs provide an opportunity for students and alumni to meet employers and discuss job opportunities. Students of all degree levels and majors, including alumni, attend the events.
EDUCATION INTERVIEW DAYCareer fair meets on-campus interviews for teachers. School districts from across the country come to the University of Dayton for a full day of interviews with graduating teachers and alumni. Held each spring, this event is a convenient way to interview potential new hires for full-time employment opportunities.
EVENTSTABLING EVENTSet up a booth with promotional materials in the lobby of one of our academic buildings to showcase your organization’s opportunities. These locations see a high level of student traffic, and allow you to target specific academic areas by hosting the event in an academic building. The setup of your booth may be similar to a career fair, but this event allows your organization to take the spotlight without having to compete with other organizations for student attention.
INFORMATION SESSIONSTake advantage of the opportunity to present more detailed information about your organization. Presentation styles range from TED Talk-style, to technology talks, to networking hours. We recommend focusing on information that students cannot find on your website (e.g. Day in the Life, career trajectories showing involvement in areas throughout the organization, etc.) and allowing plenty of time for networking.
RÉSUMÉ REVIEW DAYSPrior to each career fair, we invite employers to campus to spend time meeting with students from all majors to review resumes in an open, first-come/first-serve setting. This is an excellent opportunity to network with students and promote your brand on campus, while providing a great service to students.

MOCK INTERVIEWSEmployers are invited to campus to conduct practice interviews with students throughout the academic year. Mock interview schedules are open to all students, and schedules are created prior to your visit to campus.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPSShare your experience and knowledge in a meaningful way by presenting on a professional development topic. Employer presented workshops are especially helpful for industry specific topics, such as technical interview or case interview preparation, or as a method of connecting with student organizations.
HANDSHAKEAccess to excellent candidates at your fingertips. Posting open positions in Handshake is the best way to begin interacting with University of Dayton students and graduates. In addition to posting positions, you can also use Handshake to request on-campus interview dates, interact with active interview schedules, and register for career fairs and other events. Create an account at udayton.joinhandshake.com.
