Student employment is the #1 activity that students share or have in common.
Working part-time while taking classes enables a student to gain valuable transferrable skills that are invaluable to an entry-level job seeker. Transferrable skills are skills acquired during any activity - employment, school, projects, hobbies, sports, etc., that are transferable to the next level of one's career. An example of a few transferrable skills include:
- Communication (speaking effectively, listening attentively, negotiating, perceiving nonverbal messages)
- Human Relations (developing rapport, being sensitive, listening, cooperating, representing others)
- Organization (teaching, coaching, counseling, promoting change, managing conflict, initiating new ideas)
The Student Employment Center assists in making the employment search straightforward for IUP students by providing a listing of both on- and off-campus employment opportunities. We work closely with departmental offices, as well as, off-campus employers, in order to provide current employment opportunities. Therefore, we post and remove jobs promptly from the website in an effort to keep the listings current and efficient.
