Engage With Our Students

Hosting an information session allows you to reach a maximum number of students to promote your organization. Such events are useful in increasing your organization's visibility on campus. These sessions allow recruiters and potential candidates to meet and exchange information in a more relaxed setting than an interview. For more information, please contact hirebusiness@ualberta.ca.

If you wish to host an information session on or off-campus, we are glad to promote this to Business students. On-campus information sessions and Career Fairs at the UofA are coordinated through the UofA Career Centre Employer Relations team at hiretalent@ualberta.ca.

The following tips will help improve the impact of your information session:

• We recommend booking with at least three weeks notice in order to coordinate and promote your event properly.
• Coordinate your Information Session with an actual Job Posting. If students want to compete for a specific opportunity within your organization, they are more apt to attend an Information Session. Holding one for the sake of selling yourself as an employer of choice will not resonate with students.
• Bring people who can speak to the skill sets of the posting. Ensure your speakers are well-coached for your message. Also, bring recent grads so students can talk to them one-on-one about their experience with your organization. Allow for mingling time.
• Clarify the application process and timeline. Referring students to the website is not productive.

Co-op can help you meet your short-term employment needs by giving you access to the best and brightest our faculty has to offer. It also has long-term value as well. Co-op students gain an understanding of what the job and your organization have to offer and a sense of your culture. They then carry this knowledge back to campus, which in turn increases your on-campus presence and positive word of mouth.

Build a strong on-campus presence and increase the appeal of working for your organizations through participation in co-op! For more information, please contact hirebusiness@ualberta.ca.

The Alberta School of Business encourages our students to collaborate, network and engage in professional development in a highly-flexible environment. Mentorship connections can range from informal and distance to formal and ongoing.

A meaningful mentorship connection can be anything from a single discussion that resulted in valuable information sharing to a consistent and ongoing dialogue related to multiple aspects of professional development. Success is not defined by the number or frequency of connections made but by the quality of interaction and the benefit derived from the connection.

To connect with potential mentees and access support and assistance with developing a meaningful mentorship relationship, please contact hirebusiness@ualberta.ca.

Our students are active in over 20 undergraduate business clubs, renowned for a strong commitment to linking students to the business community. Student organizations with broad and varied membership coordinate a number of events and activities throughout the year for which corporate sponsorship, guest speakers, exhibitors, and other involvement is sought. As well, the Business Students' Association hosts numerous events in the Fall and Winter terms which enable your organization to connect with all Business students.

For a full list of clubs please visit Student Clubs. Contact the clubs directly for more information on how you can become involved.

Organizations have also distinguished themselves through generously donating to the Alberta School of Business in the form of scholarships, bursaries and awards. Contact the Alberta School of Business, Office of External Relations at 780-492-2348, for more information.

We are always open to new and innovative engagement opportunities. From company tours to speed networking to industry nights, we are here to support any opportunity for students and employers to engage meaningfully.
