Employer Events

We offer a variety of targeted opportunities for employers to engage and recruit undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Engage with UCD Students 

UCD Careers Network Employer Events are available in person, online, or in a hybrid format. With even more functionality and flexibility, employers can now extend their student reach more than ever before.

Please consult the UCD Academic Calendar for key semester dates. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to submit a booking request.

Meet with UCD Students:

  • Information Stands: Information stands in Colleges and Schools allow you to meet and greet a large number of students, and are a fantastic way to increase brand awareness on campus, promote current openings, and chat to the students about the potential within your company.  
  • Employer Presentations: have the highest student engagement according to employer feedback. Sessions should be student-focused by offering content with wider application.
  • Workshops: As a part of our skills development programmes (Skills For Working Life and Set For Success), workshops are a great way to enhance your brand awareness on campus.

Virtual Event Opportunities:

  • Instagram Takeover: Create bite-sized videos and Instagram reels for students to watch anytime of the day. Showcase your organisation and its culture and let students gain a real insight into your company and what makes you stand out from the crowd.
  • Instagram Live: are 20-minute live sessions and Q&A's that offer employers the opportunity to effectively engage with students across all disciplines.

Other Online Engagement Opportunities:

  • Newsletter: Contact us to further promote your vacancies advertised on our MyCareer Platform, or any upcoming events you have planned. We would be happy to include them in our bi-weekly LinkedIn Newsletter which has over 4,500 subscribers, and is published to our nearly 10,000 followers. A great way to ensure your vacancies get noticed! 
  • UCD Graduate Profile: Share a recent UCD graduate’s experience of working in your organisation. Just send us a clear portrait photograph of the UCD alumnus, along with 200-400 words from them discussing their career path or work experience with your organisation, and we will share this with students across our social media channels.
  • Testimonials: We would love to hear your experiences of engaging with the UCD Careers Network & UCD Students by sending us your testimonials which may get included in our promotional material and resources throughout the year.
  • Tips From the Recruitment Team: Share your top tips for applications, CVs, and interviews based on your experience with UCD applicants. We will share them with our students to raise your profile and increase the quality of applications.
  • Day in the Life: Do you have a UCD student or graduate in your company? They can post a 'day in the life' of working at your organisation to showcase your working culture and environment.
  • Q&A: Ahead of your internship, graduate programme, or other vacancy opportunity's closing date, we can post a question box on our Instagram so our students can ask you questions about the application.
