If this event doesn’t fit your hiring timeline, no worries! You can post your positions on Workday or Handshake so students can still find them. For more info, visit Career Connections' Student Employment site, or contact your HR team or Cecilee Essary.
Note on Federal Work Study: We encourage employers to consider hiring students with Federal Work Study. Work Study is a need-based financial aid award that allows students to earn money through an on-campus job. A student who is awarded Federal Work Study will have a portion of their wage come from their Federal Work Study award instead of your departmental budget. Campus departments and non-profit organizations are eligible employers. Employers who want to hire work study students for the first time should contact Erin Wooldridge at workstud@uark.edu.
Don’t miss out! Click here to register. The deadline to reserve your booth is Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
