Tomcat Way for Student Employment Success

Thiel College values the contributions of our student employees and several offices manage the overall administration of the student employment program at Thiel College. Together, student employment is managed by Human Resources Office (Roth Hall), Financial Aid Office (Roth Hall), & the Career Development Center (HMSC) and is a resource for student employees and on-campus hiring managers.

MISSION

Thiel College provides valuable student employment opportunities for eligible students to gain career readiness skills that will help them for many years after they leave Thiel. Through on-campus job opportunities, students acquire and develop important workplace skills that can be the foundation for building a resume for future career opportunities. While building individual student skills, student employment also provides support to a number of departments, faculty, and staff across campus. By giving students opportunities reflect on these work experiences, students will learn to identify their skills and articulate how their on campus work experiences help them be more prepared to launch into the world of work and be competitive in the always changing job markets.

We do this by:

• Developing and promoting best practices in student employment
• Educating the campus community about best practices to ensure equal access of on campus work opportunities for all students
• Fostering a dialogue about academics & work experiences
• Connecting students to meaningful on campus work experiences & helping them contribute to the campus community
• Helping students identify and articulate their skills and learning in on- work experiences to future work opportunities
