U-Sourcing™ - University Sourcing Program
Our U-Sourcing™ program is a structured program that allows our clients to build a virtual farm-club of talent using university students. U-Sourcing™ uses the same basic principles as intern or co-op programs but our methodology focuses on employee retention through constant employment through the school year and a comprehensive, multi-year curriculum. Students that participate in the program receive thorough training and take part in live projects for the company. The student employee is continuously evaluated throughout the program so that only the best candidates will be considered for full-time employment.
Significantly More Effective Than Co-Op or Intern Programs
The key success factor for most student co-op and intern programs is the organization in which the students are placed. This results in a highly variable experience for both the student employee and the organization. The U-Sourcing™ program is centered around a detailed work curriculum that challenges the student employee and provides objective measurement criteria for the company to base a future hiring decision.
Multi-Year Continuous Evaluation
One of the main differentiates of the U-Sourcing™ program is that it is designed to evaluate prospective student employees over several years rather than only on a single summer or semester. Identifying talent for your company can begin any time during the the student's time at a university with a work experience that is designed to expose and evaluate them through a variety of organizations within the company.
Single Point of Management - Open to All Organizations
With a centralized point of management in either human resources or an operations organization, U-Sourcing™ provides a repeatable work model that any organization can take advantage of - engineering, accounting, marketing, IT - the content can be developed for any organization within the company.
