Employer Branding & Student Awareness

In today’s competitive job market, students are drawn to organizations they recognize, trust, and feel aligned with. Building a strong employer brand on campus helps your organization stand out and stay top-of-mind with top talent—long before they’re ready to apply.

Effective brand development allows students to understand your mission, values, workplace culture, and career opportunities. Through consistent and authentic engagement, employers can foster meaningful relationships with students that lead to stronger recruitment outcomes, improved candidate fit, and long-term talent pipelines.

Participate in one of the following programs to build a visible and compelling presence at UNLV that resonates with the next generation of professionals.

Host in-person or virtual information sessions during the week to showcase your organization and connect directly with UNLV students. Engage with students in a more personal setting, answer questions, and spark interest in your upcoming internships or full-time roles. You may share:

  • Company Mission
  • Company Culture
  • Job & Internship Opportunities
  • Workplace Benefits
  • Application Strategies

We encourage employers hosting information sessions on campus to provide food or snacks to increase student interest and participation.

Create meaningful one-on-one connections with UNLV students by offering employer Office Hours. These informal, drop-in style sessions give students the opportunity to ask questions, learn about your organization, and receive personalized guidance on career paths, application tips, or industry trends. It’s a great way to build your brand and identify potential talent in a more relaxed, conversational setting. Host Office Hours on their own or couple them with an information session.

Give students a behind-the-scenes look at your workplace by hosting a Site Visit or Job Shadowing opportunity. These immersive experiences are an impactful way to build early interest in your organization, showcase your commitment to talent development, and leave a lasting impression on future candidates. Through Site Visits and Job Shadowing, students can see firsthand your:

  • Company Culture
  • Day-to-Day Operations
  • Career Paths Within the Company

Engage with UNLV students in a casual, conversation-friendly setting through our Employer Coffee Chats. Held on specific dates in a shared campus space, these events allow multiple employers to connect with students over coffee and light refreshments. It’s a great way to build brand visibility, answer questions, and spark interest in your organization in a relaxed, approachable format. A participation fee covers the cost of beverages and treats provided to students.

Showcase your organization directly to over 2,000 UNLV students and alumni through a social media takeover on the UNLV Career Services & Workforce Development Instagram page. Takeovers are a creative and authentic way to boost your brand visibility and connect with students where they are—online. Through a Social Media Takeover, you may:

  • Feature early-career employees and even UNLV alumni through a “day in the life”
