“Hire Top Students!”
Our ICE program creates a pool of driven and skilled candidates. The program is optional, and students are admitted according to academic achievement. They are closely monitored throughout the academic and work terms, thereby ensuring our employers benefit from the best quality students.
70% of our students are multilingual (English / Turkish / Russian / Arabic)!
“Streamlining Future Workforce Planning”
From an employer’s standpoint, running an ICE program can significantly streamline future workforce planning. Many businesses struggle to find entry-level employees who possess more than just basic skills. ICE students, however, have the opportunity to develop valuable, practical skills and learn how to apply them across different environments. This makes it easier for employers to find candidates who can contribute effectively from day one.
“Building a Strong Talent Pipeline”
ICE program also plays a crucial role in building a company’s talent pipeline. While not every student may be hired permanently, the chances of identifying promising candidates are high. Introducing them to your organization early in their career could lead to long-term relationships, as they may be eager to return and grow within your company.
“Increased Flexibility in Hiring”
Additionally, ICE students offer employers greater flexibility. If a company doesn’t have the resources to hire a full-time employee for a specific role, such as in marketing, an ICE student can fill the gap for a set period—perhaps over two semesters—allowing the company to meet its needs without expanding its permanent workforce.
“Reducing Hiring Costs”
Moreover, initiating an ICE program can help reduce hiring costs. Partnering with a university often means less spending on job advertisements and recruitment campaigns. Furthermore, hiring an ICE student typically costs less than recruiting someone with more experience, helping companies keep their payroll expenses more manageable.
“Embracing Diversity Through ICE Programs”
ICE program plays a vital role in fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. By welcoming students from a wide range of cultural, academic, and personal backgrounds, organizations benefit from fresh ideas and unique viewpoints. This diversity drives innovation, improves decision-making, and strengthens team collaboration. Moreover, companies that prioritize inclusivity through such initiatives build a reputation as forward-thinking and welcoming employers—making them more appealing to top talent from all walks of life.
