Employer Partnership Program

Employer partnerships are essential to APUS and its mission of excellence. APUS is committed to helping students and alumni develop the necessary skills to effectively identify and implement their career goals. We continually strive to foster relationships between employers, students, and alumni in order to establish a network or partnership that facilitates success for all involved.

As an online university, we have students who are studying with us in all 50 states and more than 100 countries -- wherever there is an Internet connection! Most students have transfer credit from prior learning, other university coursework, or military experience.

  • The Program

    APUS is dedicated to educating those who serve, and to supporting the advancement of our student’s military and professional careers. APUS has established the Employer Partnership Program in an effort to bridge the span between military transition and corporate employment, and to provide better opportunities for career entry. This program provides employers with the opportunity to advertise job openings to our students and alumni through social networks and job boards. In addition, we can provide employers available student resumes that meet their specific hiring needs. Our university is globally diversified, increasing your opportunity to find the ideal candidate for your position. We invite employers to partner with us as we work to prepare and empower APUS students and alumni to realize their potential as professionals and leaders of tomorrow. For more information on how your organization can partner with APUS please e-mail employers@apus.edu.

    Career Services can also help students and alumni learn more about your organization and the career opportunities you offer. Our office maintains a listing of employer recruiting Web sites. If you would like to add your Web site to our Employer Directory, please contact us toll free at 877-755-2787 ext. 4731 or e-mail employers@apus.edu. You may also visit our Career Services Web site at either AMU or APU.

    On behalf of our students and alumni, we thank you for your support and participation with American Public University System. We look forward to serving you and developing a stronger relationship with your organization.
