If you supervise undergraduates and want to bring career development to their on-campus work, we offer an online, asynchronous transferable skills development program that helps undergraduate students further develop their communication, leadership, and teamwork skills. Benefits:

• We’ve done the research, developed the curriculum, and we host the entire program on D2L.
• Students learn to recognize how their on-campus job help them become competent leaders, team members, and
  communicators.
• Elevate your on-campus job from something that helps students pay the bills to something that helps students build their career.

For Advisers, Faculty & Staff

Career Champions

The Career Champions program provides the opportunity for faculty, staff and academic advisers to join a campus-wide network of people helping students achieve career success. When we build career development capacity across our campus, we increase the likelihood that all students will find the career support and resources they need throughout their time at the University of Arizona.
