In order to provide opportunities for students to engage with recruiters and alumni, the Employer Engagement team at the Bates Center for Purposeful Work collaborates with employers on info sessions throughout the academic year.

These sessions give students the chance to get an insider look at organizations to better understand: what the organization does, what values guide the organization, what internship and full-time opportunities are available, and what the application process and timeline look like. When alumni are available, students have the chance to inquire about their pathways from Bates to their current roles in the organization.

Whenever possible, we encourage students to join employer info sessions live, so that they can actively engage with recruiters and alumni, and ask questions that pertain to their personal and professional needs and interests. Check Handshake Events regularly to make sure you don’t miss out on opportunities of interest.

To enhance our relationship and engagement with employers, we work closely with our employer engagement colleagues at Bowdoin and Colby, as well as across the NESCAC, to support joint recruitment activities and efforts by employers for the top liberal arts students in Maine and across New England.
