Mentor/Mentee Jobs on Campus provides Hostos students with valuable work experience, on-the-job mentoring, and professional development to promote career readiness and future job retention. Students are mentored by a faculty or staff member and develop a mindset and habits consistent with professional conduct in an office setting. This enhances students’ preparation for the workforce and job readiness. Complementing current work-study opportunities, students are paid a competitive hourly rate of $20/hour and work a maximum of 10 hours/week with a supervisor/mentor who ensures that academic requirements are met. Job opportunities are open to international students.
