Community Partner Resources

Donnelly's Career Services department encourages local companies and community organizations to partner with Donnelly students.

Each semester, Donnelly hosts a Job and Internship Fair, featuring more than 20 employers offering part-time and full-time jobs and internships for students, some with free training and tuition reimbursement. This is a great opportunity for employers to get in front of students with a booth to showcase their organizations looking to hire college students.

  • An edge in the job market
  • Marketable professional skills
  • A network of professionals in your field
  • Confidence
