This winter, Co-operative Education and the Centre for Career Action hosted 114 Employer Information Sessions (EIS) throughout the course of the term. These sessions provide students with unique networking opportunities and employers a way to enhance their recruiting strategy and heighten brand exposure on campus.
In total, 8,318 students, 12 per cent more than last year, attended an EIS this winter and were able to connect directly with employers, gain insight into hiring processes, and learn about job opportunities in their fields of interest.
An EIS is a great opportunity for employers to meet students who might not have been selected for an interview, and for students to consider employers they may not have initially. This term, we saw as many as 70 students added to an interview schedule following an EIS.
Employers benefited too - 26 per cent of returning organizations saw an increase in attendance by 50 per cent or more compared their last visit, while 18 per cent of the info sessions held this winter were by companies who had never hosted an EIS before.
