The Center for Career Development & Academic Exploration’s Elite Partners Program is intended for employers seeking to maximize their opportunities to recruit UT students. Without question, increased brand visibility is a key component in a successful recruiting campaign. Our goal for the Elite Partners Program is to work closely with you to maximize opportunities for your organization to interact with UT students and build your brand on campus. Your support helps ensure that we can deliver state-of-the-art programs and services to UT students and shows your commitment to The University of Tennessee.
There are 3 levels of partnership options for you to choose from with varying benefits associated with each one. Each sponsorship keeps you as an Elite Partner for one year from date given.
