Explore Program Information for Employers
If you are looking for a way to gain greater name recognition on campus and work with a highly motivated group of students, becoming an Explore partner might be the answer for you. You will have the opportunity to meet students and present workshops and programs as early as their first and second year on campus. This motivated group of students has the potential to stay connected with Explore throughout their UConn career, giving you an opportunity to get to interact with these students for a period of two to four years.
What is Explore?
Explore is a
career leadership program designed to assist students in their career development process.
Our program slogan is “Prepare Today, Career Tomorrow.” Students enroll in their first or
second year of college and stay with the program until graduation. The select group of
