What We Offer
Start with guidance from the WGU Employer Engagement Team, who can help tailor your recruiting approach to attract candidates who prefer flexible schedules, including night owl students and alumni.
Establish a strong virtual presence by showcasing your organization’s values, culture, and commitment to flexibility. This is particularly appealing to night owl candidates who seek workplaces that accommodate non-standard work hours.
WGU offers students and alumni the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of experiential learning opportunities, including internships, micro-internships, volunteering, projects, clinicals, simulations, fellowships, apprenticeships, and much more.
