Student Employment Initiative implemented

The Fleishman Center leads the University’s Student Employment Initiative to enhance and streamline the student employment process in conjunction with a University-wide committee comprised of colleagues in Human Resources; Financial Aid; Academic Affairs; the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Student Affairs; and Binghamton University Dining Services. In addition to centralizing job postings for students in the Fleishman Center’s job portal, hireBING by Handshake, the committee developed a Student Employment website containing resources for students and employers, and provides ongoing training for employers and students. As a result of the committee’s work, overall student job postings on hireBING increased by 204 percent when comparing postings from fall 2017 to fall 2018. On-campus postings have increased by 132 percent, and off-campus positions by 675 percent.
