Connecting You with Talent to Meet Your Needs
A St. Thomas education is rooted in the Liberal Arts, meaning that our students develop a breadth of skills with a depth of knowledge in their specific field of study. Additionally, St. Thomas is the only academic institution in Minnesota to be designated a “Changemaker Campus,” meaning social innovation, entrepreneurship and caring for the common good are built into everything we do.
We’re here to help you connect with Tommie talent—whether you’re hiring for a business, nonprofit, government agency, or household role.
Utilize our many services and resources and use tools such as Handshake and St. Thomas Connect to increase your visibility with students and alumni. Fill out the form below to let us know what offerings you’re interested in and a staff member will reach out.

Career treks are exploration experiences that bring groups of 15-20 students to meet with potential employers to gain insights into their operations, company culture and career opportunities. These treks offer students the opportunity to explore different industries, network with professionals, and learn about potential career paths. Career treks are a valuable part of the career development process and can be especially helpful for students in the exploration and preparation stages of their career journey.
