Eagle Career Champions Program
The mission of the Career Services Office at Embry-Riddle is to provide services and resources to ensure that students excel in the global employment market. One vital aspect of that plan is to cultivate valued partnerships with employers.
These partnerships foster relationships for students seeking internships or full-time positions and identify employers who are truly dedicated to recruiting Embry-Riddle talent. The Eagle Career Champions Program strives to enrich the career journey of our students by facilitating these relationship and includes the following:
1. Industry Exposure: Providing corporate partners opportunity to elevate their brand on campus and present students with valuable insights into a company. Through workshops, information sessions, resume critiques, mock interviews, and networking events hosted by these partners, students gain a deeper understanding of the company, best practices for applying and interviewing, and emerging opportunities.
2. Internship and Job Opportunities: Collaborating with employers opens doors to early knowledge of internships and job opportunities for students. Many of our corporate partners actively recruit talent from specifically and sometimes exclusively from our university. These partnerships often lead to exclusive job postings and recruitment drives tailored specifically for our student community.
3. Engagement and Guidance: Career Services relies on corporate partners often to engage on our campus for panel discussions, student org presentations, and other supporting events, allowing students greater access to seasoned professionals who offer guidance and feedback. These relationships foster personal and professional growth, empowering students to navigate their career paths with confidence.
In conclusion, corporate partnerships play a pivotal role in shaping the professional career landscape at our university. By fostering these Eagle Career Champion partnerships, we strive to enrich the career journey of our students while driving more intentional engagement with these companies.
