National Student Employment Week Is April 7–13

National Student Employment Week is an opportunity for us (and colleges and universities across the country) to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of student employees and to thank the on-campus employers and supervisors who provide students with opportunities to gain skills and professional experience through on-campus jobs. 

Kudos & Coffee
Wednesday, April 10, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. | Outside of PAVL

Student employees and supervisors are invited to stop by for free coffee or tea and high fives to say THANK YOU for all you do. No registration needed—just come by!

On-Campus Jobs Fair
Friday, April 12, 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. | STCN 160
Employers Register Here!

Promote your on-campus jobs, your office as an on-campus employer and recruit students. This is an important event because it helps create student awareness of job opportunities, allows students to meet and network with on-campus employers, and helps use make on-campus jobs more accessible and equitable. If you'd like to promote this event to your students, students can register on Handshake here.

Shine Awards

Awards include: Student Employee of the Year, Student Employment Supervisor of the Year and Best Place to Work On Campus. Nominate your student employee(s) for Student Employee of the Year! Or start a campaign for nominations for your office and supervisors. The nomination form can be found here.

Skillify Your Student Employment Experience
Tuesday, April 16, 4–5:30 p.m. | SINE 110
Students Register Here (Send to your student employees!)

In this workshop, current student employees will reflect on their experiences in their on-campus jobs. They will identify the competencies, skills and strengths they have developed through their work and will practice communicating about them for their resume and conversations with employers. Snacks will be provided! Please encourage your students to attend as paid professional development—if you have concerns about payment or hours per week, please reach out to Sharon Leary at sleary@seattleu.edu  to discuss how Student Employment can support you in making this happen.
