Employers

We understand and appreciate the importance of the role that you play as partners in preparing students for the workforce. Also, your engagement with our students is mutually beneficial, because employers receive access to quality candidates to fill their internships and jobs.

These candidates bring new perspectives and insight, an eagerness to contribute and a willingness to learn. And in return, our students learn valuable workplace skills and professionalism through their experience with employers.

The College of St. Scholastica uses Handshake.com to connect employers with excellent student candidates.
