Job Descriptions

A Job Description Form MUST be completed for each Student Employee position and include the following:

• The name and address of the student's employer (department, public agency, nonprofit organization);
• The purpose of the student's job;
• The student's duties and responsibilities;
• The job qualifications;
• The job wage rate or range;
• The length of the student's employment (beginning and ending dates);
  and
• The name of the student's supervisor.

The job description has several purposes:

• It provides the information needed to help the student select the type of employment most closely related to his/her educational or career objectives.
• It helps determine the number of hours of work required at the specified wage rate to meet a student's financial need.
• It establishes a written record, for both the student and employer, of the job's duties and responsibilities so that there will be no misunderstanding.
