This program allows student assistants and supervisors to learn skills that future employers are looking for. Through the 3-month program, student assistants will: 

• Engage in an online course 
• Meet with peer mentors 
• Access to a designated career advisor
• Learn from CSUN alumni who were student assistants

We’re now implementing a semester model! The Fall 2025 Cohort starts in early September and ends in early December. The Spring 2026 Cohort starts late January and ends in early May.

To participate in this program, a CSUN Student Employee must:

• Be employed by CSUN for the semester of participation.
• Be willing to complete 10 self-paced Canvas modules, 1 career advising session, attend 2 alumni networking events, and discuss progress at monthly check-ins with their supervisor within the semester.

Upon completion of the program, students will earn a Canvas E-Badge to add to their Resume/LinkedIn profiles and receive an invitation to be recognized at our Career Center End-of-Year Event in May! Supervisors will also have the opportunity to participate in our Career Champions E-Badge Program.

A supervisor (CSUN Staff or Faculty) must complete the following registration form to enroll themselves and their student employees: FHTC Registration 25-26. Graduate student assistants and Fall graduates are welcome to apply!

• Monthly Check-Ins with Your Supervisor – Apply career fundamentals, enhance your professional development, and learn how to make the most of your on-campus position.

• Minimal Time Investment - Engaging with the program takes only about an hour each month, seamlessly fitting into your job duties and professional growth plans.
• Access to Skill Toolbox – As supervisors, you gain access to a toolbox of information and workshops. These resources equip you with insights to engage your student assistants in meaningful, career-focused conversations and be effective mentors.
• Career Center End-of-Year Celebration – Culminating event that celebrates students' and supervisors' engagement in the program. Participants receive their certificates and FHTC cords for successfully completing all program requirements.

From Here to Career not only aims to support students in their on-campus positions but also supports Staff and Faculty as they take on the Supervisor role for student assistants.
