Each employer will promote their unique mission/values and share best practices with students regarding their recruitment processes. Employers will contribute to our community as they will present a unique perspective on the logistics of their thriving industry. Students will get the opportunity to both gain exposure to companies across various disciplines, and learn to align their educational pathways towards their desired field(s).

Career & Internship Fairs

The CSUSB Career Center offers a variety of career and internship fairs throughout the year. Each fair provides organizations an opportunity to meet hundreds of eager CSUSB students who are motivated and ready to join your professional organizations.  Career Fairs also provide additional opportunities to enhance your brand presence on campus and self-promote additional events such as interviews, information sessions or open houses.

Specialized Networking Events

Industry-specific networking events allow employers to increase their on-campus presence and engagement by having direct access to students. In a strategic collaboration between academic departments and employers, the Career Center will identify and market networking event opportunities based on the employer’s recruitment criteria.
*Networking events are available at San Bernardino and Palm Desert campuses 

On-Campus Interviews

On-Campus Interviews (OCI) is a formalized recruitment program that is provided throughout the year. The Career Center provides the interview facilities, advertises your job listings and assists you in setting up a schedule of interviews according to your needs. 
The OCI program provides employers and students a 1:1 experience to fill hiring needs. Employers must be hiring for a full-time or paid internship opportunity to qualify. On-Campus Interviews allow employers to post hiring needs via CSUSB Handshake and conduct interviews on-site with preselected candidates during scheduled visits.
