General Guiding Principles and Recruiting Recommendations
The University of Incarnate Word understands the importance of building a partnership of common goals between individual students hired and the employing organization. The Career Services Department of UIW is instrumental in achieving a successful match between both parties. Employers who post jobs, attend a career fair, or recruit on campus at UIW must adhere to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) guidelines and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles for Employment Professionals, and the Policies and UIW Guidelines listed on this page.
There are basic foundation principles applied to guide career planning and recruitment and that is to provide job candidates the opportunity to make choices that will optimize their talents and meet their personal objectives through an open and free selection of employment and experienced-based learning. It is also significant to establish and maintain a fair and equitable recruitment process and lend support to help candidates make informed and responsible decisions regarding their employment.
In providing an open and free selection of students for employment and experiential learning opportunities, UIW’s Career Services reserves the right to take appropriate and necessary actions to enforce compliance with the above guidelines, maintaining a fair and equitable recruitment process among all students employed by UIW.

Open
Does Your Position Qualify as an Internship?
Whether you are developing an internship program or offering a one-time internship opportunity, you should be aware that The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division developed a six-factor test for determining whether workers are to be considered “interns” or “employees” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The guidelines below will help you determine if the position should be considered an unpaid/credit internship or paid part-time job. By following these guidelines you will be sure to be in compliance with the criteria set forth by the FLSA.
- The internship, even though it includes the actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in an educational environment.
- The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.
- The interns do not displace regular employees but work under close observation.
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the interns and on occasion, the employer’s operations may actually be impeded.
- The interns are not necessarily entitled to a job at the completion of the internship period.
- The employer and the interns understand that the interns are not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
We appreciate your interest in recruiting UIW students and look forward to our partnership in an effort to make for a dynamic recruiting experience!
