Application Instructions – College of Engineering Employer of the Year

Description:

Annually, Engineering Career Connections (ECC) recognizes the achievement and excellence of an outstanding employer who has excelled in and made a significant impact in the career readiness, development, and support of College of Engineering (COE) students at the University of Arkansas (UA).
The selected Employer of the Year will be recognized in a Newswire article and will be recognized at the next Career Everywhere conference, typically held in the Fall.

Eligibility:

Nominated employers must:

• Have hired at least one UA COE student for one or more work terms. Those work terms should be between May 1 of the previous year (2023) and April of the nominating year (2024). This may include interns, coops, part-time hires, and/or full-time hires.

Important Notes:

• Details about the nomination form are on the Rating Form. Please use the rating form as a guide when writing a nomination.
• Emphasis is on career readiness, career development, and career education opportunities provided to students, not on the number of students hired or the strength of the employer’s relationship with UA COE.
• If you are faculty, staff, or student nominator, note that the nomination should not be a surprise to the employer. Please work with the employer to secure the best information for their nomination.

Process:

• Submit the nomination form online via https://forms.office.com/r/sWTsLVmH1c
• Deadline: Monday, May 6 at 11:59 PM
  • The nomination must be received by this date! Late nominations will not be accepted.
