Welcome Employers
Hiring an Oglethorpe student for an internship or job means you will be getting an individual who brings academic strengths rooted in a balanced liberal arts tradition. There are several ways you can let Oglethorpe students know about opportunities within your organization.

Internship and Job Posting

1.  Complete the Career Opportunity form and email it to careerservices@oglethorpe.edu.  We will put your listing in either job or internship binders in the Career Services office for students and alumni to review and will post your listing on campus bulletin boards.  Listings may also be sent to faculty members in pertinent academic areas.

2.  The Career Services office also encourages companies to post job listings on e-Recruiting powered by Experience.

3.  Oglethorpe also accepts hard-copies of job postings by fax 404.504.1180. For more information, call 404.364.8337.


Internship Information
The internship program is very popular among students. The program is an ideal way for you, the employer, to obtain assistance on projects, preview a potential employee, tap into creative minds and provide valuable learning opportunities for students. Internships can be done throughout the year and are typically one or two semesters long. Students may also choose to do an internship for academic credit or may complete non-credit internships to gain industry specific experience.

Not all work experiences qualify as academic internships. An internship must include learning objectives for the student and must not be primarily clerical in nature.

Internship Information and Forms


On-Campus Information Sessions
Hosting an information table on-campus is an excellent way to generate student interest in your organization. Career Services will be happy to help you coordinate an information table outside a heavily-traveled area or can assist you in creating a more formal workshop.


On-Campus Interviews
Companies are invited to conduct preliminary interviews for interns or full-time hires on Oglethorpe's campus. The Career Services office will schedule your visit, post your job description, collect and email resumes, and manage the interview schedule. Call Career Services to schedule an interview date or email us a completed Recruiter Information Form.


Connections Volunteer and Career Fairs

Each fall semester the Career Services office hosts a volunteer fair for nonprofit organizations who are in search of community-minded students looking for opportunities to make a difference.  During spring semester our office hosts a career fair for all Oglethorpe students who are seeking more information about career paths or employment opportunities.  Participation in both events is free to employers and organizations who are interested in meeting interns, entry-level employees, and volunteers.
