Student Employment (Work-Study)

The student employment (work-study) program provides an opportunity for you to practice and learn valuable work-related skills and, at the same time, help meet educational and personal expenses while at Keuka College.

Student community service advocates hold toys collected for area children from the Angel Tree project.

The amount of money students can earn over the course a year is determined by their Financial Aid package. Requests can be made during the year to increase this award if necessary.

Work-Study Provides Opportunities For

• Developing work skill and professional behavior
• Improving resume writing, interviewing, and job search skills
• Practicing communication, interpersonal skills, time management, and other workplace etiquette within the job.

Student employees raise money for the Keuka Fund during the Fall 2008 Phonathon.

• Integrating the learning process with the work experience
• Experiencing workplace values and expectations
