Employer Engagement Opportunities
Is your company interested in building a relationship with the Gatton College of Business & Economics or strengthening our current relationship? Our Employer Engagement Opportunities PDF can show you the various options for engaging with our Gatton community. If you are just getting started, we highly recommend scheduling an introductory meeting with a member of our Employer Engagement team.
Schedule a meeting with the Employer
Relations Team to share more of your
corporate culture and values. The more
we know about the work you do and the
candidates you seek, allow us to refer
your company to students looking for
employment opportunities & staff or
faculty members looking for
partnerships. Schedule a meeting here

of Kentucky to promote your brand and
attract students for internships and fulltime employment. Each year, UK hosts an
Accounting Fair as well as an All Majors

Handshake.

opportunities among our students and
