Welcome, Corporate Partners!
Providing you with the right candidate with the right skills at the right time—this is our commitment to our corporate partners who recruit with the Career and Leadership Development Center for business interns and permanent placement.
We know that the world of business recruiting has changed significantly in the last 10 years. Identifying, hiring, and retaining the right candidates is crucial to your business success. We also know that you have significantly less time and money to do this.

The Career and Leadership Development Center knows that placing the right student with the right corporation is a win-win proposition. Corporations get highly productive, flexible, and loyal employees at the start of their professional careers. These employees become highly productive, flexible, and loyal alumni who then come back to recruit more of the same for your firm. Everybody wins.
William Ramos and Kathy Regan, GlaxoSmithKline
"What sets this program apart from others is the quality of the CBA students that we have access to through various events and ultimately through the interviewing process. The young people that we have brought in are a testimony to what CBA is doing right." more »
We have a small and select student body in the College of Business Administration. As a result, we know our students well. We can identify students based on previous work experiences, foreign-language expertise, academic coursework, leadership, and career interests. When it comes to developing a candidate interview list for you, we can sort based on a wide variety of competencies to ensure that when you begin interviewing, 100 percent of your candidates are qualified for the position. The only administrative problem we want our corporations to have is deciding which of the many qualified candidates to hire!
Brian Rider, PNC Financial Services Group
