Student Employment Track (Dec 4)
- Career Readiness at Work: Embedding the NACE competencies in Student Employment
- Arizona State University is enhancing student employment by embedding NACE Career Competencies into on-the-job learning through supervisor-led development. The approach positions supervisors as key facilitators of career readiness by equipping them with tools and language to recognize and reinforce student learning. The goal is to create a scalable, competency-rich experience that integrates career development into student employment. ASU will introduce it’s Work+ framework that was developed to provide targeted onboarding and practical resources, leverage tools like the Career Readiness Inventory and Student Employee Hub, and how it piloted SkillsFWD, which links student work to digital credentials (Badges) and Learning and Employment Records (LERs), endorsed by supervisors to enable structured feedback conversations.

- Leveraging NACE Competencies for Student Employment Success
- The University at Buffalo’s Here to Career+ Student Employment Program, part of ASU’s Work+ Collective, aims to transform campus employment by funding positions and providing resources for student and supervisor development. The program integrates NACE Career Competencies into job design and uses Career Launch Pre- and Post-Assessments to measure growth. Key components that are shared:
- Discovery Sprint: Identified major barriers—unclear supervisor roles and lack of resources. Supervisors requested guidance on hiring, training, and managing student employees.
- Funding Process: Applicants select two NACE competencies for their positions and outline plans to develop them. Approved supervisors receive support for posting jobs, onboarding, and using the Career Launch pre-assessment.
- Student Experience: Students assess competency levels at the start, gain hands-on experience, and participate in targeted programming like skillshops and Strengths Lunch & Learn. Post-assessment fosters reflection and growth planning.
- Impact: First-year data shows growth in all eight NACE competencies, with supervisors rating improvement even higher. 85% would rehire their student. Success stories include graduates securing full-time roles and students reporting increased confidence in networking, problem-solving, and career planning.

Internship Track (Dec 8)
- The Impact of Internship Participation in Career Competency Development: Insights from the FSU Undergraduate Experience
- This session examines how internship participation influences students’ self-perceived career competencies and early post-graduation outcomes, using data from the FSU 2023–2024 Graduating Senior Survey and a case study from InternFSU, a structured internship program. Implications are that internships—especially structured programs like InternFSU—play a critical role in fostering career readiness by providing meaningful opportunities to build and apply professional skills and improved employment outcomes.

- Bridging the Gap: Cultivating Career-Ready Interns Through Intentional Workforce Preparation
- This session explores a proven framework for integrating career readiness into college internship programming, based on a summer internship model that delivers weekly development sessions alongside the traditional internship elements of job-specific training. The curriculum intentionally addresses the hidden curriculum of the workplace and those unwritten rules and expectations that can make or break early career success. We’ll share pre- and post-assessment data demonstrating measurable growth in interns’ competencies, and offer practical tools for replicating this model in other organizations.

Are there enrollment requirements to be hired as a student employee?
Enrollment is an eligibility requirement for any person holding a student employee position. You must enroll in at least six semester credit hours in the fall and spring semesters unless the student is in the last semester of enrollment.
-
Can I keep working as a student employee after graduation?
No, upon graduation, you will no longer be considered a student, and therefore will no longer qualify for student employment.
-
Is there a cap on the number of hours per week I can work?
Yes, the maximum hours a student can work is 25 hours per week. International students are limited to 20 hours per week. Between semesters students can work 40 hours per week.

Who do I contact if I didn't get paid or have questions about how I am paid?
Your supervisor or hiring manager can answer general questions about pay. Review the Payroll and Tax Compliance Office: FAQ page for answers regarding direct deposit, pay periods, and W-2s.
-
Is there a required evaluation form for students?
While Career Services does not mandate the use of an official student worker evaluation form, we do highly encourage supervisors to perform a one-on-one performance evaluation of student employees. However, our team does provide an evaluation template for on-campus supervisors who would like assistance. Please contact our team at studentjobs@txstate.edu.
-
Is there a handbook available to supervisors of student employees?
While Career Services does not offer a universal Supervisor of Student Employees Handbook, we are creating supervisor professional development training. If you are interested in learning more about this, please email us at studentjobs@txstate.edu.
-
A student cannot currently see an open work-study position in Handshake. Why is that?
Only work-study eligible students can see work-study positions within Handshake. It's possible that if a student cannot see a work-study position, they may not currently be work-study eligible. For any questions regarding work-study award status, please reach out to Financial Aid directly for more information.
-
What is the onboarding process?
Congrats on landing your on-campus job! Now it’s time to get ready for the onboarding process. Your supervisor will guide you through each step to make sure you’re all set for your first day. They’ll also handle all the HR-related requirements with you. In general, here are some common items you may need to complete during the onboarding process:
- Complete the W-4 - Learn more about the Form W-4 here
- Proof of Selective Service (for male students ages 18–25)
- Form I-9 – Learn more about the Form I-9 here
- International Students: You will need to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) before you can begin working. For detailed instructions and additional requirements, please visit the International Student and Scholar Services Office website here. Please make sure to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) to your supervisor as soon as you receive it. Failure to do so may result in automatic termination, as it is required for employment documentation.
- Hourly Student Worker Acknowledgement Form
- Direct Deposit - Don’t have a bank account? You’ll need one to set up direct deposit to receive your paycheck. Students are free to choose any financial institution they prefer. For convenience, there is a UFCU branch located on campus, which students can choose to use. To learn more about opening an account with UFCU, you can visit their website here.
Important: Please DO NOT complete these forms on your own before meeting with your supervisor, they will walk you through the process. Your department may also have additional onboarding requirements, so be sure to check in with your supervisor for full instructions.
For additional information on the onboarding process, please reach out to your supervisor.
-
I saw a job posting that says “Work Authorization Required.” Does that mean I can’t apply?
What it means:
The student must already have legal permission to work in the U.S. before starting the job. This includes U.S. citizens, permanent residents (green card holders), or international students with valid work authorization.Am I eligible to apply as an international student on an F-1 visa?
Yes!
If the position is on-campus and you are an F-1 international student maintaining valid visa status, you are already authorized to work on campus. This means you are eligible to apply. If hired, there will be additional steps to complete in coordination with your supervisor to ensure proper documentation and onboarding.
Work-Study
Work-study creates additional on-campus jobs for qualified students. Financial Aid has determined eligibility after students have submitted their FAFSA application. You can also learn more down below.
-
What is work-study?
The work-study program is designed to help students who demonstrate financial need an opportunity to earn a portion of their educational expenses through meaningful employment. The program is administered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships (FAS).
The number of requests usually exceeds work-study funds. Work-study provides you with an employment opportunity. It is important to remember that work-study is NOT a job in which you are paid to study. Work-study is not a cash award. You must work for your earnings.
-
How do I receive a work-study award?
To be eligible, you must complete the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA) and indicate interest in work-study on the application. The award is based on financial need, so not all students will qualify. Financial Aid and Scholarships (FAS) will evaluate your application and, if eligible, offered a financial aid package that may include a work-study award.
If you have questions regarding your eligibility for work-study, contact FAS.
-
How does work-study work?
After receiving a work-study award, you must find and apply for a work-study designated position in Handshake. If hired into a work-study approved position, you will be paid twice per month based on the numbers of hours you worked. The work-study award amount is the maximum potential you can earn. You may work until your award has been depleted or the semester is over. There is no obligation to earn the entire award.
Work-study jobs are not positions in which you are paid to study.
-
Do I have to accept the work-study award?
No. If work-study is part of your financial aid package and you don’t intend to use it, you can decline the award.
-
What happens if I don't find a work-study job right away?
There is a deadline set each semester to find a work-study position by Financial Aid and Scholarships (FAS). If you have not been hired into a work-study position, your work-study may be cancelled.
Utilize your resources before you give up. Career Services can review your resume and other documents to assist you in your job search. Keep applying and know that you can save job searches in Handshake that will notify you when new jobs are posted.
Email questions about the awarding process to workstudy@txstate.edu.
-
Are there other jobs on campus besides work-study?
Yes. Regular-wage positions are also available. Begin your search for all types of positions by logging in to your Handshake account.
-
How will I be paid?
As an hourly employee you will be paid semi-monthly at mid-month and at the end of the month. All employees are encouraged to participate in the direct deposit program.
-
What will I be paid?
Your earnings will be at least the current federal minimum wage; however, you could be paid more depending upon the type of work you do, and the skills required.
-
Can I work as many hours as I want?
Students working under a work-study funded position may work no more than 25 hours per week while classes are in session.
-
Do I have a dress code?
Offices typically require work-study students to wear business-casual attire. Some offices allow their work-study students to dress more casually, so be sure to check with your employer. Remember that even though you are a student, you are working in a professional setting and need to dress accordingly.
-
Can I work a work-study position in the summer?
Yes, if funding and positions are available. In addition to having a current year FAFSA on file with FAS, a student must complete a Summer Financial Aid application and be enrolled in 6 credit hours within the summer semester.
-
When can students begin and end earning work-study awards?
Financial Aid establishes these time frames. Dates for earning work-study awards can be found on the FAS Undergraduate Work-Study website.
