Posting a Position

We provide an easy and convenient way for you to post a position for our students – K-Connect, our online jobs/internship database system.  Once you post the position, students are able to view your opportunity and learn how to apply. 

Job/Internship seekers using K-Connect are typically traditional-aged college students and recent graduates of an internationally-focused liberal arts curriculum. With this in mind, we do not permit the following kinds of postings:

  • Opportunities requiring an advanced degree
  • Opportunities requiring more than 1 year experience
  • Opportunities requiring specialized training not offered through our curriculum
  • Opportunities not typically filled by applicants either pursuing or having completed a bachelor of arts degree
  • Part-time opportunities that are not local (unless available June through September)

To post a position please visit K-Connect
