Connect Face to Face

Information Table

Host an information table at a high traffic area during lunch in our Campus Center on the Rindge Campus. Contact the Career Center at careercenter@franklinpierce.edu to sign up for a lunch slot on Wednesdays.

 

Host a Job Shadow

Job shadowing allows a student to spend a few hours (2-4) or a full day (6-8) with a professional working in the student's area of career interest. The student has the opportunity to experience first-hand what the job is really like and helps them to ask informed questions. This type of experiential learning can help students determine early on in their college career if they’re on the right path.

 

Invite students to tour your company

Work with Career Center to sponsor a shuttle and work with a faculty member to identify a time for students to come and tour your work location to get hands-on feel for the environment.

 

Conduct an informational interview

Informational interviews are a great way to help students understand the world of work, careers, and employers. Informational interviews involve allowing a student to interview you about your work and your own career journey. The time commitment is minimal, 30-45 minutes. Some of the information students want to learn about include: your career roadmap to your current position, a typical day for you, the joys and challenges of your job, any recommendations you may have for someone working to pursue employment in your field, and the culture of your organization.

Micro-Internship

Franklin Pierce University is excited to highlight Parker Dewey Micro-Internships - a powerful recruiting tool that allows our corporate and nonprofit partners to access, engage, and assess Franklin Pierce talent through short-term, professional, paid work experiences. Unlike a traditional internship, these project-based opportunities typically range from 10 to 40 hours of work in total, and most can be completed remotely. Not only does this help the students, but it allows you a low-lift, low-risk, cost-effective way to audition talent for longer-term roles, engage hard-to-reach demographics, and enhance your company’s pipeline for future interns and new hires, all while getting immediate professional project support.
