What is the goal for campus employers?

With the end goal of hiring first-year students, campus employers will engage in cohort-based workshops, mentorship meetings, and job fairs facilitated by Career Center staff over the course of 8 months.

How do campus employers / departments receive up to $3,000 of funding towards student employment efforts in their offices?

By engaging in approximately 20 hours of workshops & events, departments will receive up to $3,000 of funding pending their proposals for how the money would benefit student employment in their office.  Upon acceptance into the cohort, the Career Center’s Business Coordinator will work directly with respective departments to facilitate a departmental transfer of funds.

One application can be submitted per office / department. Departments will be asked to submit the name of three (3) staff members who can participate in workshops, mentorship meetings, and job fairs; only one staff member is required to attend each meeting. If none of the three staff members can attend, opportunities for make-up workshops and events will be made available on a case-by-case basis. These arrangements will be offered on a limited basis, at the discretion of Career Center staff.
