Employers

FIT's Career & Internship Services collaborates with employers to assist them in hiring and hosting our students for career opportunities and credited internships. 

Connect with FIT Students and Alumni

We offer numerous services that employers can use to connect with our students and alumni. Members from our team are available to connect with you to discuss your hiring needs, discuss best practices, develop brand awareness, and build a recruitment plan for hiring FIT talent.

Through our Career Services Job Bank (CSJB) recruiters can promote their vacancies by listing paid freelance, full-time, part-time, and temporary position descriptions exclusively for FIT students and alumni. In addition, employers who are interested in sponsoring an intern can post their academic credited internship.  Interested in a more direct approach? Recruiters can use their CSJB employer accounts to register for career fairs or on-campus interviews.
