MEET THE EMPLOYER RELATIONS TEAM
The initial point of contact for new employers is our employer relations team.
We will assist you in hiring co-op students, new graduates, and alumni.
Email hireadragon@drexel.edu to get started.
HIRE A CO-OP
Drexel offers undergraduate, graduate, and international co-op programs where students
gain hands-on, in-the-workplace experience. Students typically work in six-month co-op
cycles, Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer, giving employers the opportunity to fill positions
on a year-round basis with two different students. Through co-op, employers can build a
pipeline of proven talent from which to recruit and hire. Visit drexel.edu/scdc/employers
for more information.
COME TO CAMPUS
To help raise awareness about your company and achieve your hiring goals,
visit us on campus. Consider hosting an information session or promoting your
company for co-op and full-time positions at our Fall, Spring, and Engineering
Career Fairs. To learn more, visit drexel.edu/scdc/careerfair and drexel.

BECOME A CORPORATE PARTNER
Gain campus-wide visibility while providing financial support for co-op students who want
to work in unpaid positions with nonprofit organizations or outside of the Philadelphia
region. For more information, visit drexel.edu/scdc/employers/partners.
RECRUIT GRADUATING STUDENTS AND ALUMNI
Steinbright hosts two on-campus recruiting sessions annually to conduct interviews for
full-time positions targeting graduating students. Register for an employer account on
DragonJobs — drexel.edu/scdc/dragonjobs — to post open positions at your company,
schedule interviews, and sign up for career fairs. For job opportunities that require more
than three years of experience, contact alumni@drexel.edu.
