The St. Olaf College Student Employment program focuses on skills development at every stage of employment. Our program is designed to connect every student employment role to meaningful opportunities to build workplace skills and career readiness. These resources will help you utilize the Student Employment Office’s Workplace Skills Development Program to build the career competencies you need for the future.
National Student Employment Week
National Student Employment Week is an opportunity for colleges and universities across the country to recognize and celebrate the contributions of student employees during the second full week of April each year. As a part of this celebration, National Student Employees of the Year are selected in six categories: (1) Leadership, (2) Community Service, (3) Social Impact and Belonging, (4) Critical Thinking, (5) Technology & Innovation, and (6) Overall Student Employee of the Year.
As part of the College’s participation in National Student Employment Week, we honor the outstanding contributions of student employees and supervisors in each of these categories.
