Connect With Us

Cleveland State University students know that the competition for good jobs is always increasing and that internships are critical to providing real-world career experience and connection to employers and industry. As an employer, connecting with students is simple. Explore the different career-related opportunities to connect with us and our students:

We offer several ways in which to connect with our students:  

Internships:

Internships can be formal, for-credit opportunities for our students that integrate classroom theory with work experience. Internships can also be not-for-credit opportunities for our students wishing to have more than one internship experience.

Co-ops:

Co-ops are formal, accredited academic programs that integrate classroom theory with work experience. In the typical co-op experience, students alternate semesters of work and study, beginning the summer after their freshman year in their desired field. The student completes a minimum of two and a maximum of four co-op semesters. Degrees are typically completed in five years with the equivalent of at least one year of meaningful, real-world, on-the-job experience. Co-op experiences are limited.

Career Opportunities:

The Monte Ahuja College of Business can assist employers in publicizing career opportunities to Cleveland State University students through a variety of resources. 

Host a Recruiting Event or Information Session - here at the College of Business:

Many local employers request to speak with Monte Ahuja College of Business majors based on their needs. This format provides companies with a platform to present their company, accept resumes, speak with students and drive applications for internships or full-time career opportunities. Information sessions can be offered at multiple times throughout the year and typically last one to two hours.

Attend the Business Internship and Co-op Expo:

In 2014, the Monte Ahuja College of Business Office of Student Services hosted the first on-campus Business Internship and Co-op Expo in Northeast Ohio. As a result, over 530 student attendees were able to mix, mingle and exchange information with employers at this event.

Speak at a College of Business Employer Engagement Session:

An Employer Engagement Session offers employers the opportunity to spend a half to full-day in the College of Business, speaking with students, increasing awareness of your company and developing a footprint on campus. These events can be part of a College of Business engagement/lecture series or tailored to your needs.

Engage with the College of Business in a Strategic Partnership:

Strategic partnerships are designed to provide you with multiple opportunities including scholarships, events, specialized programs and other opportunities tailored to fit the needs of the employer.
