Employer Relations

Participating in career fairs is an extremely effective way for you to recruit on campus. Hundreds of students attend our general and specialty career fairs each year so you could meet a vast number of students and recent graduates in various majors with interest in internships and employment opportunities.

These events are ideal for students to explore different employers, careers, and industries, and connect with your representatives.

Events are usually scheduled in September and October for Fall semester and March and April for Spring semester. Please visit Handshake for more information about dates and registration. 

Employers offering company/employment information for part-time, internships, summer jobs, or full-time positions may request an informational table between the hours of 10am-2pm Monday-Thursday. Locations may vary depending on availability.  Please submit a employer tabling request form here. 

Workshops and information sessions allow employers to conduct presentations or webinars for students to learn about their company culture, hiring procedures, entry-level programs, the application process, career and internship positions, and other employment information. Please submit a employer information session request form here. 

Cal State East Bay uses the Handshake platform for employers to connect with our students through job postings, information sessions, and career events on campus or virtually. Please note that Handshake accounts are generally approved for most companies, non-profit organizations, and government agencies that only offer paid (non-academic) internships or jobs within California and selected states and industries.

We do not approve employer accounts from individuals, households, home businesses, or international organizations. We limit approvals for third-party agencies. Approval is at the discretion of Academic Advising and Career Education for the best interest of Cal State East Bay students and graduates. 

Cal State East Bay builds partnerships with employers as internship sites to offer learning experiences for students with the intention of linking academic content to specific career-related work experiences. CalStateS4 is an online platform for employers to manage student internship placements, facilitate learning experiences, acknowledge safety and liability responsibilities, and list internship site information.

Connecting with students requires advance planning and building a strong relationship on campus with academic departments and faculty, student programs, and student organizations.

Ways to engage with students could be by arranging virtual activities or presentations and promoting them through Handshake.
