Outreach Services

Outreach, within Human Resources is the collaborative participation and partnerships with departments, constituent groups, and community affiliations in activities, which encourage the employment, retention, and development of prospective applicants, internal employees, student populations, and community interest groups.

At UC Davis we are committed to workforce that reflects the richness of California's multicultural population. Human Resources serve as ambassadors of the University as a model employer, educational institution, and health care system. For more information, contact your Employment Consultant/Recruiter.
