Benefits Information

Open to select Partner levels
Depending on your partnership level, your logo will be featured on our website, newsletter, and/or department office. Once you have signed up as a Partner, you will receive information about submitting your logo.

The department works closely with our student clubs to facilitate speaking opportunities for our Partners. Once you have signed up as a Partner, we will connect your company information to the appropriate student club leaders who, if interested, will contact you for a possible speaking engagement at one of their few meetings. There are no guarantees as some clubs have more interest than presentation opportunities.

Open only to Platinum Partners, Company Days are an all-encompassing, packaged recruiting day.

Sample Company Day Schedule:

Location:

Cal Poly Campus – Building 13

Timeline:

11:10 AM – 12:00 PM: Company Presentation to Students

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Catered Lunch for Students and Representatives

Our department will market the event, coordinate catering, collect resumes on your behalf, and will hand them over to you 2-4 days prior to the event.  

Our CE/ENVE students submit resumes to the department throughout the year that they would have shared with our partner companies. Platinum members will have these resumes presented to them before the IPP Career Fair in January, as well as access to an ever-expanding digital folder at the beginning of the academic year.

All Year Long | Advertising
