Services for Employers
Find your next great hire. We know it can be tough out there. High turnover, employee burnout, quiet quitting, and demands for wage increases keep our employer partners on their toes.
Saint Francis students, recent grads, and alumni solve many of our common employment woes, from liberal skills and Franciscan values to the hands-on experiences they get in their academic programs.
Our students and graduates are flexible, dedicated, and workforce-ready.
“I’ve wanted to be a dentist since I was young, so the Pre-Dental Biology major at Saint Francis was the perfect choice. I’m in Dental School now and just took the first round of Anatomy classes. My preparation from Saint Francis was wonderful. These classes felt like a review of what I learned as an undergrad.”
Alex Yoder ’23 Pre-Dental Biology major
“At the start of my senior year, my internship site offered me a full-time position. I felt completely prepared to start. Saint Francis gave me a comprehensive understanding of business and the learning was always connected to the real world. The professors are exceptional. What I appreciate most is the support and mentorship I received. Saint Francis set me on a great path!”
