Employers
Thank you for including Wharton MBA students in your recruitment considerations! We are always excited to connect employers with our talented club members and are happy to work with you to figure out how you can get involved.
To start, we regularly offer a range of programming opportunities to link employers with Wharton MBAs for full-time and summer internship opportunities:
Networking Opportunities
Marketing Conference: The annual Wharton Marketing Conference is managed by the Marketing Club and features keynote speakers, panel discussions, and faculty presentations that focus on major trends and cutting-edge research in marketing. It also offers an opportunity for recruiters to build personal and professional networks through breakfast chats and lunches with current MBA students.
Case Competitions: Wharton MBA students love to participate in case competitions, and many are hosted annually by marketing-oriented companies seeking to recruit top business school talent. We encourage you to consider offering Wharton students a case competition to prove their skills - and get to know your company.
Lunch 'n' Learns: Lunch 'n' Learns are a wonderful opportunity for students to informally connect with recruiters. Participating companies typically share a case study or thought leadership piece as a way to educate students about the types of issues that marketers face in their everyday careers.
Day on the Job: One of the Wharton Marketing Club's most popular events is the annual Day on the Job series in which companies invite students to spend a day (or in some cases, half a day) at their headquarters to learn more about marketing and the roles available at their firms. Attendance is typically limited, so as not to overwhelm the recruiting company.
Career Treks: Students, along with the Wharton Career Management office, organize Treks to various cities across the United States and abroad to visit recruiting companies in that specific region. Students get a glimpse at the company's culture firsthand and recruiters get to network with potential summer MBA interns and full-time hires. In some cases, a Day on the Job is scheduled to coincide with a Career Trek.
Resume Books: Search our database of Wharton MBA students or alumni to find talented candidates for your openings. Purchased resume books are accessed on CareerPath in an online, searchable format. To assist you in your search, resumes are indexed by industry experience, industry preference, function experience, function preference, and geographic preference, among other categories.

Project Opportunities
Collaborative Innovation Program: The Mack Institute’s Collaborative Innovation Program (CIP) is a unique experiential learning program that brings Wharton graduate students into our partner companies to solve real innovation challenges. Under the guidance of a Wharton faculty member, teams of students spend a semester working in consultant roles, completing projects on innovation-based issues. Corporate partners propose a current business challenge they’d like to address; the Mack Institute will select students who will work on the project under faculty guidance. Our team works to identify and develop appropriate and mutually beneficial projects.
