Career Week
Career Week (Tuesday, September 5 through Friday, September 8, 2023) prepares rising juniors, graduating seniors, and graduate students with the professional skills necessary for a successful full-time search. It is strategically placed prior to E-Council Engineering Expo (September 18 and 19), allowing participating companies to engage early with top engineering talent.
Why Sponsor?
Sponsors have the opportunity to brand their company and engage with students prior to the Expo. Being a sponsor of Career Week is a benefit that ECS Platinum Partners enjoy. There is also the opportunity for companies to sponsor Career Week without being an ECS Partner.
Your generous $1000 sponsorship grants your company the following benefits:
-
Name and logo on all Career Week marketing materials: Examples of this include dorm room hangtags, event website page, workshop slides, program materials/handouts, social media campaigns, and email outreach recognizing company sponsors.
-
Inclusion in Career Week signature event, Network-ish: On Thursday, September 7 (times & location forthcoming), employers will interact with graduating and graduate students. In this drop-in style event, engineering students will be able to casually engage with employers on a variety of topics including: fine-tuning resumes, practicing elevator pitches, learning more about participating companies, and much more! Sponsoring companies may send two company representatives to the event.
-
Employer panel participation: Sponsors may select one company representative to participate in our Career Week Employer Panel "Advice from the Experts" in which you will share your expertise with students seeking career employment. This event will take place the evening of Thursday, September 7.
Non Sponsor Option
Participation in the signature event, Network-ish, does not require sponsorship and is available to additional interested employers for a nominal fee of $400. The non-sponsor option allows you to send one company representative to the event.

Requesting Accommodations
If you require accommodation for a disability such as live captioning or sign language interpretation to participate in any career fairs, events, or activities, please contact ECS at eng-ecs@osu.edu.
