Information for Employers

We are actively seeking employers in a range of industries and locations who are interested in hiring students for both part-time and limited-term full-time positions. Depending on the length and nature of the position for which you are hiring, wage subsidies may be available from our institutional partners.

Our majors are bright, active and adaptable people with strong language ability in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and cultural competencies to match. We educate them to be effective analysts and communicators, and flexible enough to adapt to a wide range of professional positions. By hiring one of our majors, not only will you be contributing to the development of the next generation of talented professionals, you’ll also be getting a cost-effective boost to your own business efficiency right now.

For more information, and to discuss options for hiring our students, email the Chair of East Asian Studies, Dr. Daniel Fried, at dfried@ualberta.ca.
