Employer Services

The Hart Career Center uses Handshake as our career services platform for our employer and job database. Create a Handshake account for free and connect with colleges that use the platform to share opportunities with students.

We are able to provide on-campus interviews in-person and virtually. We hope to make luncheon arrangements with you during an in-person visit, which can include Hart Career Center staff and IWU faculty from certain departments.

The Hart Career Center will advertise your recruiting visit to students before your interview date. If you would like to share publicity materials with our office, we would be happy to pass it along to interested students and targeted faculty.

Post a Job/Internship Opportunity

Full-time/part-time jobs, paid/unpaid internships, experiential learning, and volunteer opportunities are shared with students through Handshake, our career services platform for our employer and job database (please note that IWU does not support cooperative education or co-ops). Post an opportunity to Handshake for our students!
