Here to Career Supervisor of the Month: Dior Jackson
Published June 2, 2022
Student Life's comprehensive career readiness program, Here to Career, is designed to provide UB students with intentional and meaningful on-campus work experience to set them apart in a highly competitive workforce.
College Educated. Career Ready.
In Here to Career, campus employers serve as mentors who instill the knowledge and competencies needed to ensure a successful career after graduation.
As on-campus student employee supervisors, it’s important to understand the key competencies for career readiness. How we interact, train, assist and develop our student employees not only impacts the student, but the department they are working in. On-campus student employment can connect students to a future opportunity, foster working relationships and allow the student to participate in a collaborative, unique culture.

- Posting all student on-campus jobs through Bullseye powered by Handshake

- Attending Supervise Student Employees 101
- Inform students of professional development opportunities available
