Our Recruiting Strategy
Union Pacific prides ourselves in recruiting individuals from all corners of the country. With our school agnostic model, we are able to reach almost every student in the United States schools via Handshake, Symplicity, LinkedIn, our Employee Alumni Ambassadors and our Intern Ambassador program. We are committed to connecting with all students and giving them an opportunity to join Union Pacific.
Union Pacific supports students in many ways, such as providing funding to universities. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, Union Pacific provided funding to Jackson State University (HBCU) to support their career services center in providing career placement opportunities, their College of Business for curriculum and student professional development, including supporting their Case Competition, and the JSU CAPS program.
