Be a Star Employer

Employer Spotlight Overview

From Star Employer to Employer Spotlight

The Career Development Center recognizes employers who have demonstrated a commitment to promoting career opportunities, experiential learning, and career development for UIS students.  In past years, a Star Employers ranking system was used to highlight organizations actively partnering with UIS in multiple ways. Currently, we have transitioned to the Employer Spotlight program to feature different employer partners throughout the academic year.
