We offer you the opportunity to leverage one of Iowa State’s greatest assets — the student population. Iowa State University is a rich recruiting ground for young minds, many of whom are pursuing degrees in technology, science, agriculture and other relevant fields.
With an enrollment of more than 36,000, you can find students whose interests align with yours, whether it’s for staffing or research purposes.
Internship programs and part-time positions can be a cost-effective labor source that adds true value to your organization. Plus, students benefit from on-the-job training while they pursue their degree.
Looking for volunteers or people interested in paid research opportunities? The Iowa State campus makes for a great place to conduct a study, with a diverse demographic, a relevant educational backdrop and numerous opportunities to promote your initiative.
There are many ways to engage with our students that do not involve hiring them into a company specific role, and our engagement teams can help craft a strategy to help navigate a path. Additionally, as corporate partners evolve and look to upskill current employees, Iowa State offers a number of unique custom education and certification opportunities for working professionals, both in person and remote.
ISU Research Park has become a popular spot for corporate partners to open beachhead offices to assist with the retention of interns. At any given time more than 300 students are working at internships throughout ISU Research Park. The research park also provides numerous communal spaces used for networking and community building activities for tenants and community partners including job fairs, employer showcases, trainings and events.
