The first step to employing a student worker is defining the job the student will be expected to do. For example; Does the student need general or specific skills to perform the tasks of the job, What tasks need to be done, who in the office will be the student's direct supervisor, what will you pay the student employee? These are all questions to ask when deciding how you will structure your student position. The Student Employment Office (SEO) has developed various tools to help you answer these questions.
The job description form is to be filled out by you, the employer. This form is of much importance, whereas it serves not only as an advertising tool and a basis to pay your student worker, it will become part of your own student training manual, and finally it will be used as a tool of measure for student evaluations. For your convenience copy of the updated Job Description Form is also available electronically via blitz mail.

1. Federal Work-Study: The Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP), a federally funded program administered through Dartmouth College, promotes access to employment to help students gain professional experience while meeting educational expenses. Campus employment through this program is offered as a resource for students who are eligible for financial assistance under Federal and Dartmouth guidelines. Eligible students must be U.S. citizens, enrolled full-time, and be in good academic standing. Eligible positions must meet the following requirements....
2. Federal Work-Study Plan - Employment: Employment is an institutional alternative to federal work-study. This is awarded Primarily to International and Canadian students because they do not qualify for federal funds. Employers wishing to hire either Work-Study or Employment eligible students will X this.
3. Non Work-Study: Not all jobs meet the qualifications for federal work-study funds, nor do all students qualify for work-study or employment funds. Therefore, we have added a Non Work-Study component. There are no subsidies for these students.
4. Student Administrative Internships: These positions are not paid through federal money nor are the students required to be paid biweekly, instead they are paid once a month.
