If you are searching for a staffing source that consistently produces one of the top candidate pools in the state of Florida, you've come to the right place. That's because a quality University of Tampa education prepares students for a variety of real-world jobs and skills. With a well-rounded curriculum that stresses ethics, leadership, the arts, and an appreciation for civic responsibility and volunteerism, UT truly leads the way in graduating talent. UT offers job and internship postings, on-campus recruitment and employer information sessions.
Become a Volunteer
The most effective recruiting comes from building relationships with students, faculty and staff. Employers often have the opportunity to interact with the UT community beyond the traditional recruitment methods. Professionals serve as speakers in the classroom, workshop presenters, mentors, sources for job shadowing and informational interviews, guest podcast broadcasters and much more.

Additional Ways to Partner with UT
Job and Internship Fairs
Each academic year, a number of job fairs are hosted by UT. Some of the fairs require a fee while all require a registration. Space is limited and will be given on a first come, first serve basis. The dates for the upcoming job and internship fairs are listed on the employer events page.

The Art of Professional Networking and Dining Etiquette
UT hosts a guest speaker to provide training for professional etiquette during meals and receptions. During a mocktail hour prior to a formal dinner, employers are invited to participate in an educational experience through which students are exposed to the art of networking during a reception. Employers are then invited to participate in the Etiquette Dinner and Professional Dress Fashion Show by sponsoring and hosting a table for students. Contact us about sponsorship opportunities.

Workshops/Classroom Presentations
The UT Career Services staff frequently asks employers to co-present on various career management and planning topics. This might include workshops on resume writing, cover letters, interviewing, job search strategies, networking, etc. Interested employers may also be asked to serve as a panelist for a particular topic or classroom presentation. Because it is very difficult for employers to be included in faculty syllabi for a class, we seek opportunities to co-present when available. Let us know if you are interested in being a presenter or panelist. There is no fee for this service.

Faculty Luncheons/Breakfasts
Many employers would like access to UT faculty to provide information about their company and opportunities for students and graduates. We would be happy to assist you in organizing a luncheon for faculty on the UT campus. We will secure a room and provide you with information about catering on campus.
