DigiPen Institute of Technology proudly abides by NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) Principles for Ethical Professional Practice.
Equity and Fairness
Career and Alumni Relations staff cannot hand select or personally recommend individual students for employment opportunities. Job opportunities must be advertised to all relevant students. Employers are welcome to connect with faculty members if they would like to inquire about a list of potential student recommendations.
Third Party
Third-Party agencies are welcome to recruit DigiPen students and alumni as long as they clearly indicate their agency type on Handshake. Under no circumstances does Career and Alumni Relations permit third-party agencies to charge students or alumni a fee for their services.
Job-Posting Resources
The Office of Career and Alumni Relations uses Handshake as their primary method of engaging students and employers. To post jobs, host events, participate in virtual fairs, and more, employers must create an account on Handshake.
Exploding Job Offers
The Office of Career and Alumni Relations does not condone nor support “exploding job offers.” Companies participating in such practices may be consulted by Career and Alumni Relations and/or experience adverse effects to their relationship with the college.
Non-Discrimination Policy
The Office of Career and Alumni Relations does not support nor condone discriminatory hiring practices by employers and abides by DigiPen Institute of Technology’s core values with students.
Compensation
Job and internship opportunities advertised by Career and Alumni Relations must be compensated. Unpaid opportunities will not be approved unless clearly stated that it is a volunteer position.
Marketing
By participating in recruitment activities, employers grant DigiPen permission to photograph, record, and share information about their participation for promotional and educational purposes. This may include, but is not limited to, use on DigiPen’s website, social media channels, newsletters, and other communications. Exceptions to this policy are handled on a case-by-case basis for companies who are in “stealth” mode or who may have conflicting internal policies.
