As we all know, transferable skills and practical training help students build their resumes. Student Employment strives to combine work experience with educational goals to help students learn time management, multi-tasking, and other career related “soft skills” that employers seek upon graduation.

 Get S.E.T. will further develop students’ skills and increase both their productivity and value to departments across campus by providing interactive workshops on topics including telephone etiquette, customer service, Purdue web navigation, professionalism, and employment basics.

The Student Employment Office is an integral part of Career Services, creates a one stop shop for campus supervisors and students to meet their employment needs. 

Supervisors may post student employment vacancies via a simple job form on our website. Students may search on-line for campus employment and apply directly to the job opening. Our goal is to provide meaningful employment for students, correlating to their educational goals and connecting them to campus. 

Not only does Student Employment coordinate Federal Work Study, Non-Federal Work Study positions, but also temporary, projects, and Graduate Aide positions.
