We want to recognize you! The Harper@Work Alumni Corporate Recognition Program aims
to recognize Harper College alumni in the workplace and celebrate employers throughout
the community who have hired Harper College alumni as employees.
What are the benefits of participating?
Employers benefit by participating in the Harper@Work program through the recognition
and publicity they receive for being an employer of Harper College graduates. Employees
of the company, who are Harper College alumni, benefit by connecting with the Harper
College alumni program and by the recognition they receive for utilizing their education
to help local businesses succeed.
How does the program work?
The Harper College Educational Foundation will recognize employers who have hired
Harper College alumni at a celebration event held on site at the company. The celebration
event will be attended by representatives from Harper College, the Educational Foundation,
company officials and employees of the company who are alumni of the College. At the
event, the company will be presented with a token of recognition and appreciation
for hiring Harper College alumni. Employees who are alumni of the College will also
be presented with a gift from the alumni office and will have an opportunity to learn
more about the Harper College alumni program. Following the celebration event, a press
release and photos from the event will be sent to the local media. The company celebration
will also be featured on the Foundation and alumni website and in print and electronic
communications.
