Researching Employers

Researching an employer is often best accomplished by careful review of that organization’s own web site.  However, the sites below are excellent resources for researching specific employers as well as obtaining detailed information about various industries and career opportunities within those fields.

The resources used to effectively research an employer will depend upon whether the organization is public or private, not-for-profit or corporate, regional or international, and so forth. For assistance identifying resources, consult with a Reference Librarian at your nearest public or university library or visit the Twardowski Career Development Center.
