Our Industrial Partners Program

One of the aspects of IDeA Labs that makes it a unique educational experience for students is our tight relationship with industry. Student researchers operate as Industry Externs, developing theoretical and computational tools relevant to our Partner's challenges. The students, working as groups, sharpen their collective expertise on real problems from a variety of contexts. Students graduate ready to tackle the next generation of science and industry's most pressing problems.

Getting Involved

BYU Career Placement
 • Career Fairs
The University holds general and technical career fairs twice a year, once at the beginning of fall semester and once at the beginning of winter semester. The fair hosts hundreds of recruiters each year including some of the industry's most noted tech companies. Recruiters are given a chance to meet with potential employees, hold company information sessions and luncheons, and conduct on-campus interviews.
 • eRecruiting
eRecruiting is BYU's web-based career placement system that connects you with your ideal job or intern candidate. This site will open your position advertisement to the largest pool of students including interns and alumni. After you have completed and submitted an online form you will be able to post job descriptions, access student resumes, make interview decisions, add contact information, and view your interview schedule. It provides you with student resumes in an online book format, which permits you to search for specific skills or experiences.
