Is the Fundamentals of Campus Recruiting program still available?

The Campus Recruitment Accelerator is an expanded version of the former Fundamentals of Campus Recruiting program and has replaced that program. If you have less than one year of experience in campus recruitment or if managing student hiring is one of your numerous responsibilities, you should consider completing the Campus Recruitment Essentials program before enrolling in the Accelerator.

If I attended the Fundamentals of Campus Recruiting program in the past, should I register?

The program has undergone major revisions in the past few years. If you attended the program prior to 2022, you'll gain tremendously by joining the program this year.

What is the schedule and time commitment?

The core of the program is four, 2-hour sessions held over 5 weeks. In addition to the 2-hour sessions, it is expected that participants will comment on discussion board topics, connect with co-participants, and complete quizzes. All sessions will be recorded so that participants can access any sessions that conflict with their personal schedules.

Will there be recordings available?

Yes, all sessions will be recorded and available exclusively to program participants on the dedicated web portal for 6 months after the completion of the program.

What happens if I miss a session?

There’s a good chance that a session or two may conflict with your other commitments. Recordings of sessions will be posted on the web portal along with educational materials within 24 hours of each workshop, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to catch up.
