View Student Résumés
Industrial Affiliate partners are offered private access to review our student's impressive résumés. Log in to view the current résumés, and then call to set up an information session and interview time.
Industrial Affiliates Workshops
Twice a year, the College hosts a three-day spring and fall workshops, which include a corporate showcase (a recruiting expo attended by UA optics and engineering students), student and faculty research presentations, laboratory tours and networking opportunities for informal discussions with students and faculty. Many IA partners extend their visit by scheduling interviews with students ready to enter the workforce. Being an active IA partner is an incredibly strong step towards finding talent both now and in the future.
