Employers

Our Life Design staff work with companies to create personalized plans for engaging with students in person and virtually. At Homewood, career education is integrated into academic life so our students graduate career-ready, with deep industry knowledge, internships or employment experience, and a foundation for continued professional success. We work with employers in all industries to connect them with our students, and we’re always looking to build new relationships with companies.

Engagement Options for Fall 2021 at the JHU Life Design Lab at Homewood:

Virtual Campus Recruiting Day on Brazen: Design your own virtual recruiting day! Pick a fall date and two-three engagements (Workshops, Coffee Chats, and or Information Sessions) of your choice. You will still be able to host your sessions on your own virtual platforms. On our end, we will help set you up on the Brazen platform with a booth which will serve as a place where you can house your agenda with all your event links for that day in one place. You also will receive a booth to use before and or after, to host your 1:1 virtual chat with our students via text, video or both. Customize your booth to your preference, include resources and marketing collateral for students to view before the day of the event. Once you are all set-up for your day, our educators will work to advertise your event throughout our communication channels. This option is best if you are looking to host your events in one day and virtually connect with students 1:1 in some part of your virtual event. (Employers who participate in this engagement option are expected to participate JHU Future Fest at Homewood for fall 2021)

Create & promote your event with us: Virtual Workshops, Information Sessions, Coffee Chats: If you would like to host a virtual session of your own choice, please let us know, we will help you request and create an event post on Handshake and ensure your post gets maximum visibility.

Promote your existing event: Already have an existing event taking place? Will connect you with our educators to help promote your event and drive students to your event.
