The goal of the U-M IOE Industry Partnership Program is to create channels to help our industry partners identify promising students and to help expose our students to the breadth of opportunities companies like yours can offer. Through this program, your company can share opportunities for internships, full-time positions and more. You can become a “partner” at no cost or a “sponsor” with additional benefits listed below.
