Post a job on Handshake
We invite you to join us on Handshake, CUW’s online career engagement platform and job board, to connect with our students and alumni. Handshake allows employers to post opportunities and review job seekers’ profiles and resumes at no cost.
Other ways to engage
Connect directly with students during select days each semester from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm. To reserve a spot the Center for Academic Advising and Career Engagement requires employers to post a job or internship opportunity within Handshake, actively engage with the students and comply with principles for professional practice as sited by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), and not charge fees to the student to apply or begin working with the organization.

The student led Business Scholars Club is organizing a Business Professionalism Dinner, an important event to equip our students with the essential skills needed in the professional world. This event is scheduled for April 2, 2025 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm at the River Club of Mequon. We are honored to have secured Mariah Grumet, a New York City based certified etiquette trainer and founder of Old Soul Etiquette, to lead our students through a comprehensive session on business etiquette and networking.
The purpose of this event aligns seamlessly with Concordia University Wisconsin's mission of providing a Christian higher education that shapes individuals for service to Christ in the Church and the world. We believe that fostering a strong foundation in business etiquette will empower our students to navigate the professional realm with confidence, integrity, and a sense of purpose.
If you would like to participate in this year’s event as a sponsor contact Stacy Tolomeo, MBA at 262-243-2216 or stacy.tolomeo@cuw.edu.

Show them where the magic happens! For many employers, words simply won’t do justice to the meaningful impact you are making in the community and your respective industry. Although students love hearing about the great things they can do upon completing their degree, the experience of visiting a company, interacting with a panel of professionals, and seeing your work in-action can have a profound effect on their vocational goals. A picture may be worth 1000 words, but a site visit is worth 1000 pictures.
For more information about hosting, please contact Stacy Tolomeo at Stacy.Tolomeo@cuw.edu.

For students entering the workforce, the stakes have never been higher. In order to shape uncommon graduates, we need to leverage the insights and best practices of today’s industry leaders. These lunch-hour TedX style sessions are designed to highlight your expertise and help our students make the transition from the classroom to the workforce. Topics can range from transferrable skills to networking or interviewing, to practical functions like organizing a meeting agenda. For employers who cater lunch, we’ll cater the student base to your needs. Whether you have a specific focus or take a more egalitarian approach, we would be happy to work with you to make this even mutually beneficial.
