Students who work while in college persist towards graduation at higher rates compared to their peers who don't.

Student employees gain career readiness skills like communication, collaboration and problem solving to help prepare them for post-graduation employment.

Student employees generate an immediate support system with supervisors, colleagues and friends in their workplace which can support networking efforts.

Student employees establish themselves in the ISU community and are celebrated with events like Student Employee of the year and National Student Employment Week.
