Meet exceptional students and alumni at our fall and spring Job and Internship Fairs, which are widely regarded as the most affordable and well-organized recruiting events in the D.C. area.

To generate buzz about your organization and further build your brand, host a virtual on-campus interview, employer meet-up, pop-in or recruiter chat. Pitch your organization and opportunity to students. Meet & greet virtually with eager candidates. Submit your session request through Handshake and partner with our Employer Relations Coordinator, who actively promotes your event to appropriate audiences.

On-Campus Interviews: Enjoy the efficiency and convenience of interviewing AU students and alumni virtually through our free On-Campus Interview (OCI) program. Use Handshake to request an interview date, post available positions, review resumes from qualified candidates, and select interviewees. 

Meet-ups: These virtual sessions tend to run 30-minutes to 1 hour and follow a presentation to Q&A format, share current events and projects with students and pique their interest in applying to jobs and internships.


Pop-ins: You’ll set up for a specific timeframe (typically Zoom or platform of your choice) and students will rotate in and out of your virtual room, these are casual and quick!


Recruiter Chats: This format is structured around pre-scheduled one-to-one appointments with interested students & alumni, chats are generally 20 minutes and are a great first step in getting to know candidates.

These events provide an opportunity to connect with AU students, alumni, faculty, and staff interested in a specific industry.  Give professional advice, share information about your organization and discuss career opportunities. The AU Career Center co-hosts various annual industry-based events in partnership with the Office of Alumni Relations, and each of our partner schools (CAS, Kogod, SIS, SOC, SOE & SPA). These engaging events attract highly qualified students and alumni interested in a specific industry. Find additional information, as well as dates and times on Handshake.

Partner organizations - non-profit organizations and government agencies - hire AU students with Federal Work Study awards for part-time positions in the fall, spring, or summer terms. Partners pay only 25% of students' wages, while federal funds cover the rest. To learn more, visit the Public Service Work Study Program page or contact the Student Employment Coordinator.
