Employers and industry partners

Employers looking to connect with UM students must provide an inclusive environment, free of harassment and discrimination. The CCELC follows the national and provincial standards provided by CACEE and Manitoba Labour Standards (outlined below):  

• Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers (CACEE) Ethical Recruitment Guidelines 
• CACEE Guidelines for Recruiting Graduates with Self-Declared Disabilities 
• Manitoba Employment Standards 

The following types of opportunities will NOT be posted on UMConnect or welcomed at on-campus recruitment events (including career fairs and information sessions): 

• Any opportunity that does not state the employer’s name, job title, or job description; 
• Job postings that require applicants to pay up front fees; 
• Any opportunity deemed to be part of a multi-level marketing plan or scheme of pyramid selling as defined by Canada’s Competition Act; 
• Any positions deemed to be unseemly or potentially unlawful; 

Unpaid opportunities that do not adhere to Canada and Manitoba Labour laws and the CACEE Statement on Unpaid Internships.

The CCELC requires that all employers provide the following information when creating an employer account and posting an employment opportunity. Failure to comply may result in the account registration being rejected, or the job posting being declined: 

• The full name of the contact person, with phone number and corporate email address; using a generic email address such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc., or an email address that does not align with the company’s web domain may result in the registration being rejected. 
• An adequate description of the nature of the position and the type of job (e.g., full-time, summer, temporary/contract, or volunteer). 
• A detailed, clear job description and required qualifications. 
• An application deadline.  
• A clear description of the method of application (i.e., email, employer website, or electronically through UMConnect). 
• All mandatory fields completed. 

Registration on UMConnect does not guarantee automatic approval or the privilege to post positions. All postings submitted to UMConnect will be vetted by the CCELC and will be rejected if they do not meet our employer guidelines.

Employers recruiting on campus must be respectful of students. Employers that are interested in booking space to recruit or promote opportunities, must contact the CCELC at cs.receptionist@umanitoba.ca.  Employers that arrange for or rent a table in any campus location (including booking through University of Manitoba Conference & Catering) to promote employment opportunities or recruit employees must advise the Career, Community, and Experiential Learning Centre (CCELC - cs.reception@umanitoba.ca) and adhere to the guidelines provided in this document. The CCELC reserves the right to screen and to reject bookings that do not meet our recruitment guidelines. The only exception refers to employers booking space to connect with Asper School of Business students at the Drake Centre, which will follow the Asper employer requirements.  

Employers at campus locations must: 

• Comply with all applicable fire, health, safety and building code regulations while on-campus 
• Occupy and use only the display space assigned by the CCELC / Conference and Catering (during the dates and times agreed upon with the CCELC) 
• Limit their promotion / recruitment activities to the location that they have rented / arranged (with the CCELC – cs.reception@umanitoba.ca, through Conference & Catering, or Asper School of Business) 
• Respect students and only engage with students that approach the table, arranged for space, or booth 
• Never follow students or engage with students outside of the pre-arranged / booked space (eg. outside of classrooms, lecture spaces, dining areas, libraries, study spaces, etc.)
