**About the Career & Student Success Advisor Role**:
The Career and Student Success Advisor is a proactive team member providing innovative and intentional academic and career advising to prospective and current students. This position contributes directly to the Polytechnic’s vision of building students’ capacity for brilliance, and supports learners by curating individualized support, refined employability skill, increasing institutional retention, persistence, and more. The incumbent must demonstrate a commitment to understanding, respecting, and engaging with diverse perspectives and identities through an intersectional lens, and must be skilled in addressing the needs of a diverse student population.

The incumbent applies theories of learning, student development and career development through individualized advising strategies and case management to successfully support students throughout their life cycle while at Humber.

This position will identify and support students at risk of attrition and provide early-intervention through proactive advising.

The incumbent then works with the student to form and clarify meaningful plans and set goals by developing individualized academic and career success plans that leverage available resources and campus support services.
