Book excerpt: For many students, working while in college is a defining characteristic of the undergraduate experience. However, student workers often view campus employment as a money-making opportunity rather than a chance for personal development. Likewise, institutions often neglect to consider campus jobs as a means to education and student engagement.It is the distinction between work for remuneration and work for personal development which shapes much of the discussion of student employment throughout A Good Job. This book makes the case for campus employment as a high-impact practice in higher education and provides models for institutional efforts to implement new student employment strategies.Carefully designed campus employment opportunities can have numerous benefits, including career exploration and preparation, learning, and increased engagement leading to increased retention. The authors make the case that employment can and should be a purposeful and powerful component in any higher education institution’s efforts to support student learning, development, and success.This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in capitalizing on the developmental and learning potential of student employment on campus.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Working College Student by : Laura W. Perna
Download or read book Understanding the Working College Student written by Laura W. Perna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How appropriate for today and for the future are the policies and practices of higher education that largely assume a norm of traditional-age students with minimal on-campus, or no, work commitments?Despite the fact that work is a fundamental part of life for nearly half of all undergraduate students – with a substantial number of “traditional” dependent undergraduates in employment, and working independent undergraduates averaging 34.5 hours per week – little attention has been given to how working influences the integration and engagement experiences of students who work, especially those who work full-time, or how the benefits and costs of working differ between traditional age-students and adult students.The high, and increasing, prevalence and intensity of working among both dependent and independent students raises a number of important questions for public policymakers, college administrators, faculty, academic advisors, student services and financial aid staff, and institutional and educational researchers, including: Why do so many college students work so many hours? What are the characteristics of undergraduates who work? What are the implications of working for students’ educational experiences and outcomes? And, how can public and institutional policymakers promote the educational success of undergraduate students who work? This book offers the most complete and comprehensive conceptualization of the “working college student” available. It provides a multi-faceted picture of the characteristics, experiences, and challenges of working college students and a more complete understanding of the heterogeneity underlying the label “undergraduates who work” and the implications of working for undergraduate students’ educational experiences and outcomes. The volume stresses the importance of recognizing the value and contribution of adult learners to higher education, and takes issue with the appropriateness of the term “non-traditional” itself, both because of the prevalence of this group, and because it allows higher education institutions to avoid considering changes that will meet the needs of this population, including changes in course offerings, course scheduling, financial aid, and pedagogy.
Book Synopsis Making it Work by : Nahoko Kawakyu O'Connor

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to better understand college students' experiences of working while in college with the awareness of potential differences based on students' socio-economic status. Working while in college is a prevalent and necessary activity for most students, and this study aims to examine students' decisions to work, and the benefits and drawbacks of working, from a micro and macro perspective. Drawing from critical social theory, this exploratory, sequential mixed methods study explored student employment experiences, benefits of working, and college success outcomes through 32 phenomenological interviews, and 1,144 College Student Employment Survey respondents at a highly selective, private, non-profit, 4-year institution. The results from the study showed that students work for financial reasons, but consider working while in college as an important college experience beyond monetary return, such as enhanced academic integration and increased responsible independence. While students identified the nature of the work positions as an important factor when choosing a job, this was considered only after convenience factors such as physical location of the job, number hours of work available, and scheduling. Students generally found out about their jobs through word of mouth, but significant differences were found between first-generation and low-income students and their continuous-generation, higher-income student counterparts: In addition to word of mouth, higher-income groups reported being tapped by faculty as one of the most common ways of finding out about their work positions, while for low-income students, the job board was one of the prominent ways to find out about their jobs. Students described the benefits of working while in college that encompassed enhanced academic integration, increased sense of responsibility, enhanced skill development, and increased sense of belonging. Liabilities included stress from having to better manage one's time and the physical exhaustion of working after a long shift. In addition to process outcomes described by students as benefits of working at the micro level, student employment experiences showed positive contributions to student success outcomes at the macro level. Students who experience higher supervisory support in their student employment showed greater student success outcomes in civic contribution, intellectual success, responsible independence, trajectory towards graduation, and better labor market positioning. Experiencing community connections and increased faculty and staff interaction due to working while in college also showed positive associations with student defined success outcomes. While stress from work and physical exhaustion were noted in the phenomenological interviews and descriptive survey results, these liabilities did not have a significant association with any of the success outcomes. Implication for prospective students, higher education professionals, and research is offered to consider student employment as a co-curricular activity that is educationally enhancing aligned with the purpose of higher education"--Pages ix-x.
Book Synopsis Student Employment During the Transition to College in the United States by : Robert Bozick
Download or read book Student Employment During the Transition to College in the United States written by Robert Bozick and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, I use a nationally representative sample of American high school seniors in 1992 to examine change and stability in the employment patterns of youth as they make the transition from high school to college. Students with weak attachments to the labor force in high school tend to remain unemployed during the first year of college. Conversely, students who work in moderation while in high school have the highest odds of enrolling in college and working while doing so. Compared with their nonworking peers, student workers enter college with lower grades and test scores but are equally engaged in school. Socioeconomic factors have little bearing on high school employment, but they are strongly related to postsecondary employment: students who work during the first year of college have fewer socioeconomic resources than nonworking students. The findings highlight the intersection of school and work in young adulthood and its importance when studying the transition from high school to college among contemporary American youth.
Book Synopsis An Investigation Between On-campus and Off-campus Student Employment and Its Impact on Student Success by : Matthew J. Adams
Download or read book An Investigation Between On-campus and Off-campus Student Employment and Its Impact on Student Success written by Matthew J. Adams and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate if employment location, on-campus versus off-campus, impacted student success. Four factors of student success were evaluated: (a) persistence, (b) satisfaction, (c) high-level learning, and (d) personal development. Additionally, employment location and its impact on student success were evaluated for a subpopulation of underrepresented students who self-identified with at least one of the following communities: (a) Black or Latinx, (b) first-generation college, (c) transfer students, (d) LGBTQ, (e) active military or veteran, (f) person with disabilities, and (g) from a low socioeconomic background. Data collected from a survey produced 2,250 responses to be analyzed. All mean scale scores for the student success factors were significantly lower for off-campus student employees than on-campus student employees. Underrepresented student employees reported lower levels of student success than their non-underrepresented peers. Educational leaders should evaluate the benefits of on-campus employment opportunities when making policy and funding decisions related to student employment programs.

Book Synopsis Debunking the Myth of Job Fit in Higher Education and Student Affairs by : Brian J. Reece
Download or read book Debunking the Myth of Job Fit in Higher Education and Student Affairs written by Brian J. Reece and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with This groundbreaking book examines a concept that has gone unexamined for too long: The concept of “job fit” in the student affairs profession. Fit is a term used by nearly everyone in student affairs throughout the hiring process, from search committees and hiring managers to supervisors and HR professionals. This book opens a conversation about the use of “job fit” as a tool for exclusion that needs to be critically investigated from multiple standpoints.This edited collection brings together a number of voices to look at the issues involved through various lenses to explore the ways policies, procedures, environments, and cultural norms provide inequitable job search experiences for individuals from various marginalized groups. These include looking at the legal aspects, employer definitions, communication barriers, as well as scholarly personal narratives looking at the concept from the perspective of class, race, gender and sexual orientation.Emerging from the Commission for Social Justice of ACPA, the personal narratives and critical explorations in this book are an attempt to provide graduate students and professionals with a resource that is relevant to the job search in an increasingly competitive job market, while taking into account the complex realities of their identities. The normative assumptions of “fit” are analyzed by the authors to make visible the barriers those assumptions create for those with non-dominant identities.The student affairs profession strives for inclusion and acceptance as a core value, and an essential competency. The profession has made progress in the way it serves students, but there is a disconnect between the conversation about students and the way those same values play out in the treatment of practitioners and scholars in the field. This book aims to help job seekers looking to evaluate fit in their current and possible future positions, as well as hiring managers who face challenges in creating equitable hiring processes.Challenging the norms and rhetoric about job fit in student affairs means that scholars and practitioners alike must be able to incorporate this topic explicitly into various aspects of the profession.

Book Synopsis A Perfect Mess by : David F. Labaree
Download or read book A Perfect Mess written by David F. Labaree and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the news about America’s colleges and universities—rising student debt, affirmative action debates, and conflicts between faculty and administrators—and it’s clear that higher education in this country is a total mess. But as David F. Labaree reminds us in this book, it’s always been that way. And that’s exactly why it has become the most successful and sought-after source of learning in the world. Detailing American higher education’s unusual struggle for survival in a free market that never guaranteed its place in society—a fact that seemed to doom it in its early days in the nineteenth century—he tells a lively story of the entrepreneurial spirit that drove American higher education to become the best. And the best it is: today America’s universities and colleges produce the most scholarship, earn the most Nobel prizes, hold the largest endowments, and attract the most esteemed students and scholars from around the world. But this was not an inevitability. Weakly funded by the state, American schools in their early years had to rely on student tuition and alumni donations in order to survive. This gave them tremendous autonomy to seek out sources of financial support and pursue unconventional opportunities to ensure their success. As Labaree shows, by striving as much as possible to meet social needs and fulfill individual ambitions, they developed a broad base of political and financial support that, grounded by large undergraduate programs, allowed for the most cutting-edge research and advanced graduate study ever conducted. As a result, American higher education eventually managed to combine a unique mix of the populist, the practical, and the elite in a single complex system. The answers to today’s problems in higher education are not easy, but as this book shows, they shouldn’t be: no single person or institution can determine higher education’s future. It is something that faculty, administrators, and students—adapting to society’s needs—will determine together, just as they have always done.

Book Synopsis Working in College by : Tynan Marie Kozak
Download or read book Working in College written by Tynan Marie Kozak and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The employment of college students is an important issue for higher education since the impact of working during the academic year is not clear. The current literature base shows conflicting findings about the impact of employment on academic success and engagement mainly because research results vary depending on the type of work, the location of employment, number of hours worked, and the time management skills of the individual students. Investigating the characteristics of full-time undergraduate students at The University of Alabama holding paid positions of employment during the fall 2009 semester is the focus of this study. The survey instrument for this study was designed utilizing variables common with the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) and variables targeted to gather information about the impact of employment on academic engagement, social experiences and overall student well-being. Findings were compared to the national data from the 2008 NPSAS to explore similarities between national trends and The University of Alabama full-time undergraduate students. Additionally, the motivation for working during the academic year and the impact of this work is explored. A descriptive and comparative analysis of the data was used to answer the eight research questions guiding this study. Findings and conclusions are presented along with recommendations for policy, practice and future research.
