Alumni
The value of your Notre Dame education extends well beyond your years on campus, especially when it comes to career development. The Center for Career Development offers a number of ways you can support students, and one of the best ways to get started is to join IrishCompass, Notre Dame's official online networking community. You can support your alma mater in the following ways:
- Use our convenient online form to:
- Post a full-time or internship position at your organization
- Host a student for a job shadow
- Create an internship or externship program
- Offer to serve as a guest speaker for student events (share industry knowledge, interviewing tips, how to effectively network, etc.)
- Connect with staff directly to learn more about Undergraduate and Graduate Career Services
While the Alumni Association provides a full-range of career services for alumni (including a job posting board on IrishCompass), our Undergraduate and Graduate Career Services staff provides career counseling services for alumni who are still seeking employment 12 months after graduating.
