Employer Resources

In order to be eligible for on-campus employment, students must maintain F-1 student status. Students are generally eligible to work a cumulative of 20 hours per week on-campus during the fall and spring academic terms and full-time during holidays or school vacation periods, provided the student intends to enroll in at least 6 credit hours during the academic term following the vacation period. This 20-hour total includes hours spent working on an assistantship. It is strongly recommended that students meet with an international student advisor prior to beginning any on-campus employment to ensure compliance with immigration regulations. For more information on international student employment, visit the Student Employment webpage or contact the International Student and Scholar Office at isss@uah.edu. 

The All-Majors Career Fair is the largest student/alumni and employer event on campus. Reserve a booth and come meet hundreds of highly qualified candidates to fill your job openings. Complete details can be found on Charger Path, the Career Fair page, or the Employers' Guide to Career Fair.

Throughout the academic year, the Office of Career Services also hosts smaller, specialized fairs to reach more niche populations to benefit both students and employers. These fairs include Part-Time Job Fair, Nursing Fair, and Graduate and Professional School Expo. Each of these are held biannually at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. For more information on registering your organization to attend one of these fairs, contact the Office of Career Services directly at chargerjobs@uah.edu.

The Office of Career Services offers a variety of both on- and off-campus engagement opportunities designed to help employers connect with UAH students in meaningful ways. Whether you're looking to increase brand awareness, recruit for current opportunities, or build long-term relationships with students, we can help create an experience that aligns with your goals.

Popular engagement options include information sessions, workshops, networking events, tabling in high-traffic campus locations, employer site visits, and employer-hosted lunches. Our team will work with you to identify the best format based on your organization, industry, and target student population. Two of our most successful employer engagement programs include:

Field Trip Fridays: Nearly every Friday during the academic year, employers host groups of UAH students for site visits that provide firsthand exposure to their workplace, culture, and career opportunities. These visits offer a unique opportunity to showcase your organization and engage with students beyond the classroom.

What's Up Wednesdays: Held weekly in the Charger Cafe, these informal networking lunches connect employers with students in a relaxed setting. Employers can share industry insights, answer questions, and build meaningful relationships with potential interns and future hires.

The purpose of i4 is to purposefully match students with employer partners that view these students as potential employees. It is an in-depth introduction to the organization and allows the employer partner to engage with students on a deeper level than the traditional recruiting strategies. i4 is broken down into four phases: introduce, inspire, integrate, and invest. After three years, the employer will have participated in one full life cycle of the program, with a different student cohort in each of the phases. For application updates, contact i4@uah.edu.
