Student Employment
There are many opportunities to work part-time while attending
school at UW-Stevens Point, and well over 1,600 students do so while
attending school. In addition, hundreds of others are assisted with
finding work in the community. Many others find work themselves.
Working part-time while attending school clearly has become very
popular for many students.
UW-Stevens Point is fortunate enough to have a Student
Involvement and Employment Office (SIEO)
to assist students in their part-time job hunt. Located in the
University Center lower level, this office has a dedicated staff
that is in touch with employers all over the campus and in the
community always looking for employment opportunities for students
here at the University.
College Work Study Program (CWSP)
Before work-study will be included on a student’s award (1) the
student has to indicate on the FAFSA interest in work-study, (2) the
student must meet the current UWSP qualifications, and (3)
work-study money must be available. If awarded work-study, the
student must work with the Student Involvement and Employment Office
to secure a job. It is beneficial for students to work on this
program because, unlike other forms of employment, CWSP does not
reduce grant and other need-based aid eligibility the next year
(“need-based” wages are excluded from the analysis of need).
Finding Jobs
The University Food Service hires a large number of students to help
with meal service. Any student interested in working in one of these
positions should make contact directly with the Food Service Office
at 209 University Center for more information.
Cooperative Education
Students with exceptional academic qualifications may be eligible to
work on the Cooperative Education program. In this program the
student is involved in part-time work which compliments an academic
major or career goal. Interested students are invited to contact the
Career Services Office, room 134, Main Building, for more
information.
Stevens Point Community
Some of the most interesting (and lucrative) work can be found in
the community. The Student Involvement and Employment Office
participates in the Federal Job Locator and Development program;
this means employment opportunities are generated in the local
marketplace. Anything is possible here: work at a local major
industry, doing personal assistance with retired faculty members or
work with a local community resident just to name a few. Job
openings are posted at the Student Involvement and Employment
Office, where students can register for the kind of work they would
like, so that when a new position opens up they can be contacted. So
if you want a job, we've got a great place for you to go; just visit
the Student Involvement and Employment Office (
SIEO).
