The Partners-in-Success Program at KSU's Department of Career Planning and Development (DCPD) is designed to recognize organizations that provide significant support to KSU, enhancing visibility and optimizing recruiting effectiveness across both KSU campuses. The program includes 25 sponsors, categorized into three tiers: 5 Diamond Sponsors, 10 Platinum Sponsors, and 10 Gold Sponsors. Each sponsorship level requires an annual financial commitment, with detailed financial information available upon request. If the desired sponsorship level is full, organizations can join a waitlist at no cost and will be notified when a slot becomes available.
Sponsors receive a variety of benefits, including the first right of refusal for events, admission to Job and Internship Fairs, and advertising and promotional opportunities. These advantages are designed to maximize the recruiting effectiveness of sponsoring organizations and ensure they have ample opportunities to engage with KSU students and graduates. The maximum amount eligible for a charitable tax deduction is determined by subtracting the fair market value of any benefits received from the total sponsorship level amount. Please consult your tax advisor to understand how these benefits may apply to your individual tax situation.
To qualify for the Partners-in-Success Program, organizations must be licensed to
do business in the US, post job opportunities on Handshake, and attend at least one
event (excluding job fairs) per year currently or moving forward. For more information
or to join the program, please contact the Employer Relations Team at careerplanning@kennesaw.edu.
