Partnership Benefits

The Student Connection

Company partners are crucial to the success of the Penn State Sales Education Center mission. Mutual relationships between industry and academia create pipelines of learning, mentoring, and skills growth that promote generations of successful sales professionals.

Our students are no strangers to the working world – as employees in retailing, restaurants, or local attractions like Hershey Park, many Penn State Harrisburg students find the means to sustain their education through local employment. These students are eager to stay connected to the Central Pennsylvania region by finding jobs with local employers after graduation.

Consider how an investment of time, resources, internships, and job opportunities can help our students jumpstart their careers and stay connected to the community through alumni relations and professional development!

Networking

Regular networking events connect corporate partners with students and provide opportunities for sales students to practice their professional skills.

Offering internships and participating in networking activities are great ways to connect with our talented students.

Diversity

Whether transferring from local community colleges or enrolling as first-generation students, our students are determined to complete their educational journeys.

Students often complete their degrees at University Park, creating connections across the Penn State system.

Leadership

Pursuing their interests from high school, our students continue to grow by seeking leadership positions in student government, clubs, organizations, and athletics.

Students often complete their degrees at University Park, creating connections across the Penn State system.

Experience

Many students work part-time jobs in addition to pursuing their degrees, resulting in a wealth of working experience prior to graduation.

Our students often complete at least two internships prior to graduation.
