Did You Know?
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), the majority of employers prioritize career readiness competencies—such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, leadership, and professionalism—when hiring early talent. In fact, “... nearly 90% of employers responding to NACE’s Job Outlook 2025 survey indicated they are seeking evidence of a student’s ability to solve problems and nearly 80% are seeking candidates who have strong teamwork skills.” Employers seek candidates that have developed transferable skills through experiences beyond the classroom, including internships, part-time jobs, and on-campus employment.
Career Readiness for the Future
The SEE Program focuses on career readiness—a set of essential competencies that are transferable across industries and careers. By working on campus, students not only contribute to the success of Rutgers but also develop skills that will serve them in their future endeavors. Through reflection, mentoring, and hands-on learning, SEE encourages students to connect their work experiences with their career aspirations.
Join a Community Committed to Growth
Through the SEE Program, Rutgers creates a community where students and staff come together to cultivate career-ready graduates. This program aligns with the university’s mission of providing high-impact learning opportunities and ensuring students are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.
Supervisors play a key role in shaping the student experience. By mentoring and guiding students in their work, supervisors help foster professional development and ensure that students approach their student employment positions with a growth mind-set. The SEE Program emphasizes a collaborative approach, empowering both students and supervisors to grow together.

It's More Than Just a Paycheck

By participating in the Student Employee Enrichment (SEE) Program, you will develop and reflect on these key competencies, positioning yourself as a strong candidate for future internships and full-time roles. Employers want to see how you’ve applied your skills in professional settings, and SEE helps you articulate those experiences with confidence.
