While UW–Madison awards more than 10,000 degrees annually, producing candidates with diverse skills, we appreciate companies are looking for solutions to engage with potential candidates in new and unique ways. These recruitment resources range from traditional career fairs to online portals to sharing additional tactics to elevate your visibility with students providing unique engagement opportunities. Our office looks forward to understanding your goals and connecting you with the right resources to fit your needs.
