CURRENT STUDENTS

The Louisiana Tech University Career Center supports the professional practices of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) a professional association that connects college career services professionals and HR/staffing professionals focused on college relations and recruiting. The association forecasts trends in the job market; tracks legal issues in employment, the job search, and hiring practices; and provides college and employer professionals with benchmarks for their work.

As an affiliate of NACE, the Career Center can offer best practice information to you about internship programs and experiential learning opportunities, which for many of our industry partners, can act as a pipeline for hiring full-time employees. As well as research and data about average starting salaries, so that you can ensure you are offering candidates competitive packages.

We encourage you to join us in membership in the following organizations:

• National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)
• Southern Association of Colleges and Employers (SoACE)
• Louisiana Association of Colleges and Employers (LACE)

Each year, the Career Center hosts five recruiting events where employers and graduate and professional schools are invited to campus. Participating in recruiting events like these can help your organization to create a presence on campus and to build the pipeline of students you recruit from Tech, year-to-year. If you are interested in participating in our upcoming events, visit our Events page for details on registration.

Can’t make one of our events? Let’s plan your own! On-campus presentations and information sessions provide an opportunity for you to meet informally with students and share materials about your company outside of formal recruiting events. Schedule your Info Session through Handshake by making an event request.

Is there a candidate you would like to interview? Arranging on campus interviews has never been easier! Handshake provides our staff and employer partners a streamlined system to request interview space within our center. Visit our employer support page to learn more about the types of interviews you can schedule. When you are ready to select a date, access your Handshake account and submit your requests. For more information about on campus interviews, contact Avery Broussard, Coordinator of Employer Relations & Career Center Events, at avery@latech.edu​.
