Ways to recruit
Employers can post co-op, internship and full-time openings on PorterConnect at no cost, register for an all-campus or field-specific fair, or sponsor a course-embedded project that puts a real problem in front of a class for a semester.
Getting the most out of it
Employers who come back year after year tend to also serve on a department's industry advisory board or sponsor a Prototype Development Center project — recruiting works better paired with a visible relationship, not a single job posting.
In and around Porter Falls
Career Services works with every major, but the pattern is the same across them: a required internship, co-op or clinical placement before graduation, listed on each program page. Ninety-six percent of Porter undergraduates complete one, most of them with an employer in the Valley or the Cities.
The practical details
Post a job: Free, through PorterConnect. Career fairs: Two all-campus fairs a year, plus focused sessions by field. Sponsor a project: Coordinated with a specific department. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Career Services (Founders Union, Room 160). Call (715) 555–0205 or email careers@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
