Our Key Mission Is Connecting Career-ready Students And Graduates With Great Businesses

The Partners-in-Success Program was created to recognize organizations who provide significant support to the Department of Career Planning and Development (DCPD), and to increase visibility and maximize recruiting effectiveness on both KSU campuses.

We have 25 partners in our Partners-in-Success-Program: 5 Diamond, 10 Platinum, and 10 Gold. All partnership options require an annual (1-year) financial obligation. If there is a waiting list for the level(s) you would like, you can be placed on a waitlist at no fee and be notified when a slot becomes available.

From first right of refusal for events and admission to Job & Internship Fairs to basic advertising and promotion, there is a wide range of advantages. Browse the partnership options below and contact us if you have any questions.
