Little white trucks, workplace uniforms, and first aid and safety cabinets are just a few of the images that come to mind when thinking about Cintas. However, to the Redbird community, Cintas means much more!

Career Services is pleased to welcome Cintas to the Redbird family of supporters as a member of Engage, Career Services’ partner engagement program. Through Engage, companies generously provide support that specifically assists Career Services with developing, enhancing, and implementing innovative career development programs and services. In return, participating organizations have many opportunities to connect with Illinois State talent.

Since it was founded in 1929, Cintas has grown to more than 43,000 employee-partners in hundreds of locations. The organization serves businesses throughout North America as an ethical supply chain and offers products that promote a cleaner environment. With an emphasis on promoting from within and creating a multitude of career path opportunities, Cintas seeks to meet employee-partners wherever they are in their personal journey.

“We chose to be a partner with Illinois State University because we have seen firsthand the caliber of students graduating from the University,” states Cintas Campus Talent Acquisition Manager Sarah Clanton. “We have multiple leaders at Cintas who are proud alumni, and we know partnering with Career Services will continue to provide us with leaders who are ready to take on the challenges of getting businesses ‘ready for the workday.’ If you are looking for an executive leadership program with opportunities in sales, operations, and management, then the Cintas Management Trainee Program is what you need.”

Cintas joins other Engage partner program members and industry leaders including Archer Daniels Midland, Enterprise, Growmark, Northwestern Mutual, Pekin Insurance, and Precision Planting.
