With nearly 10,000 student employees working in almost 17,000 part-time jobs, our campus truly would not be the same without them. Our student employyes earned roughly $22,000,000 in part-time wages during the 2022-2023 academic year. Not only are students able to earn money towards their education, but are able to learn valuable career readiness skills too.

Student Employees play a critical role here at Iowa State.

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.
