Hosting an information session gives your team a dedicated opportunity to connect directly with students in Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and postdoctoral scholars. These events, which can be held either in-person or virtually, enable your team to showcase your company’s culture, values, and mission while providing insight into what it’s like to work at your organization. Featuring Yale alumni who currently work at your organization can help potential candidates envision themselves in the roles you’re looking to fill.
Consider Alternative Engagement Activities:
According to research by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), students prefer interactive content, opportunities for Q&A, real-life examples or case studies, and a chance to make personal connections with presenters. We encourage you to view this resource for a list of employer-led engagement ideas.
Scheduling Information Sessions:
To avoid scheduling conflicts, and to ensure the best possible experience for students and for your organization, all events must be requested via the registration form in Yale Career Link and approved by the Employer Relations team.
Once you have a confirmed date, please submit your event details within the ‘Events’ section (link on lower right hand side) of your organization’s homepage in Yale Career Link.
You will receive a confirmation once the event is approved. The Employer Relations team will then promote your event date and time through various channels.
To get started planning your event, contact our recruiting coordinator, Elizabeth Keane.
