Community Service Work Study
October 18, 2022 2024-09-04 20:57The Community Service Work Study (CSWS) program creates a mutually beneficial partnership between the College and qualifying not-for-profit or government agencies by placing eligible students in community positions as work study students. The contract will outline how the wages are split between the College and the agency. The agency is responsible for the hiring and supervision of the student, and the College handles the payroll.
Community Service Work Study provides students with rich opportunities to:
- Apply academic learning to real-world problems.
- Explore and develop their interest in public and community service.
- Develop interpersonal, teamwork, and leadership skills, as well as a sense of “self-efficacy” — the recognition that one’s efforts can be effective in improving the community and helping others.
- Experience working with individuals from diverse ethnic and social backgrounds.
- Learn new, career-related skills.
- Explore potential career paths and develop career-supporting references.
