Employers

Ask Us Anything
Ask Us Anything is a new student led, panel style series where employers are upfront, honest, and transparent with students about interesting and vulnerable topics such as interviewing, diversity in the workplace, salary negotiation, women in business, and more. Throughout the academic year, there are five sessions scheduled, three in fall, and two in spring. If you are interested in participating, email Amber Ristow, Employer Relations Coordinator, amber.ristow@uwrf.edu and include topic(s) you may be interested in discussing.

Virtual Career Treks
Traditionally, a Career Trek is a site visit that companies (you!) provide. It’s a unique chance for students to learn more about a company of interest, any job or internship opportunities they have available, and what they might look for in candidates that apply. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Career Services Offices across the UW-System teamed up to provide students these unique opportunities in a virtual environment. Career Treks are hosted every Wednesday at 2 PM throughout the school year. Interested in hosting a Virtual Career Trek at your company? Email Melissa Wilson, melissa.wilson@uwrf.edu to learn more.
