    The office of Career Exploration and Development can assist with your hiring needs.  Through our online portal, Handshake, you can post an opening (internship, full-time, part-time, temporary) for our students and/or alumni.  This service is free for employers and a staff member can assist you with our simple registration process.  We also offer demonstrations as needed.

    We offer on-campus interview suites that employers can reserve to conduct interviews.  By holding interviews on-campus, employers are able to get a better feel for the Gannon culture as students participate between their regularly scheduled classes and campus commitments.  Staff will assist in scheduling the students you wish to interview during our bi-annual campus interview weeks.  Your student interview schedule will be provided in advance to aid in your preparation.
