Position Description
In addition to general workplace expectations, the College establishes position descriptions to set expectations for specific positions. All student positions must have a description per Federal Work Study guidelines under the Department of Education. Each position description contains the following information: department name, position title, assigned work hours per week, WLS Levels, itemized description of duties, list of learning opportunities, and outline of basic and desirable qualifications.
Position descriptions are prepared by each department in consultation with the Work-Learning-ServiceProgram. Copies are centrally maintained for all departments in BOX, and a new draft must be submitted whenever a department upgrades an existing position description or creates a new one. Departmental descriptions should be reviewed annually in consultation with the Program Office. All students should be familiar with their position descriptions to understand the position’s expectations and opportunities. This supports students in building strong work habits and equips them with the language to connect their experiences to their skills and growth, helping them articulate their strengths in résumés, campus interviews, and future career opportunities.
