Strategy 3 - Expand Student Employment

Collaborative Work Team (CWT)

On-campus employment is considered a high impact practice, closely associated with positive student outcomes. We seek to expand these opportunities by increasing the number of work study positions, developing fellowship and stipend options for undocumented and international students, and training staff and faculty to use student hiring platforms.

Charge for 2022-23

The charge for the 2022-23 academic year will include the following elements:

  • Implement training for staff and faculty on Handshake and work-study, and experiential site options.
  • Continue to work with Financial Aid to increase work study positions and placements by at least 50%.
  • In conjunction with Institutional Marketing, develop a student employment landing page and re-direct students on the SLCC website to Career Services for student employment.
  • Collaborate with AVP Martin to educate and finalize stipend or fellowship options for undocumented and international students.

  1. Increased all PT (Part-Time) student positions from $12.00 to $14.00.
