WorkLife at SU

Individual Growth & Development

As one of the largest employers in Central New York, Syracuse University provides many opportunities in a variety of roles and career paths for its workforce. During the life-cycle of employment with the University, your family and work priorities may change requiring you to reevaluate your work situation. A full-time, challenging management position may not be as feasible when faced with caring for an aging parent or newborn child. The Office of Human Resources is committed to providing guidance and support in your exploration of career paths, development opportunities, and work environments available at the University.

Career Coaching

What opportunities are available? Do I have the right combination of experience and education for the job I want? What is the best way to update my résumé? These are important, but often overwhelming questions that can keep us from exploring alternative work environments within the University. In addition to discussing career options with you, Human Resources can provide résumé writing and career assessment tools to help you focus your search and find the right fit for you and the University.

Development

We also know that a workforce committed to keeping pace with changing skill and knowledge requirements positively impacts the University. Preparation for the "right" job is one of the key contributors to ensuring your success. Human Resources can guide and assist you to prepare for career advancement. Skill and knowledge assessments linked to Syracuse University job categories help us to identify the right training, skills and experiences necessary. Once the training is identified, we can then discuss the many options available for training and what works for you: E-learning, workshops, University College, etc.
