Talent and Recruitment

Our diverse student body made up of nearly 1,300 undergraduate and 1,200 graduate students are leading the way and making a difference. McKelvey Engineers are well-rounded problem solvers, innovative thinkers, multi-disciplinary collaborators and effective communicators. Among our 21K+ alumni are numerous CEOs and C-suite executives, entrepreneurs and world-renowned faculty, researchers and physicians.

Connecting with our students early and building your company's name recognition will be key to hiring top WashU talent.

Internships & Co-ops

Whether your organization is a local startup or a global Fortune 500 company, our students are eager to apply theories learned in the classroom to real-world problems. They are curious to learn about new companies, explore unfamiliar career paths and make an impact.

Through an intern or co-op, your company can build a pipeline for entry-level talent, bring in new perspectives and innovative ways of thinking, and tackle important projects.

Tech Talks & Company Presentations

Connect with students in a more relaxed and intimate setting to share information about your company, highlight potential career paths and opportunities or offer expertise on a particular subject. Couple it with information about a particular industry and encourage student interaction. These things along with timing and promotion are important to maximize student attendance.

Site Visits & Tours

What better way to get students excited about your company and the work you do than to see it first-hand? Whether you'd like to target a certain subset of students or partner with a student organization, we can discuss if a visit to your facility is feasible.
