March is a natural checkpoint in the semester. By now, students are balancing coursework, career planning, and upcoming opportunities, while employers are evaluating the progress of their early recruiting efforts. This is an ideal time to reinforce engagement, support meaningful connections, and introduce opportunities that help students gain real experience while employers stay connected to emerging talent.
Share this blog with employers to highlight why candidate engagement shouldn’t stop after an offer is accepted. It outlines a simple, repeatable cadence of touch points, events, Micro-Internships, and light communication that helps employers keep students engaged from offer acceptance through Day One.
Candidate engagement doesn’t end once interest is established. Share this upcoming webinar with employers looking for practical ways to maintain momentum with early-career candidates throughout the hiring process. In this session, they’ll learn simple, easy-to-implement strategies to stay connected with students from the first interaction through final decisions.

Share this month’s student newsletter to help students think strategically about which Micro-Internship opportunities to pursue. It highlights how students can evaluate projects, decide when to apply, and recognize when it may be better to spend more time preparing before submitting an application. |
Since 2022, we’ve been asking students and recent graduates who recently completed Micro-Internships to reflect on the impact of these experiences on their career readiness, as outlined by NACE competencies. We recently updated the report, and we're excited to share the results.
