What happens with the posting after I hire a student?

Job postings are active on our website for increments of 3 weeks. When the job is set to expire after 3 weeks, we will call you to ask if you would like to close or extend the posting. We also ask if you have hired any students. You can call our office any time if you want to clost the posting early or extend it longer.

Do I need to provide you information about my student hires?

Yes, if you do hire a UWSP student, we ask that you help us track our success. Our office offers job posting services free of charge through a federal program. When a UWSP student fills a position posted through our office, we are obligated to record their name, start date, end date (if applicable), wage per hour and the number of hours worked per week. We compile this information in an aggregate report at the end of the fiscal year, with employer and employee names excluded. This information is only used to track our success in connecting students to jobs and to guarantee our office funding for the following year. Individual students and employer information is confidential and is not released to anyone outside our office.
