Some schools might have agreements with private for-profit employers for Federal Work-Study jobs. These jobs must be relevant to your course of study, to the maximum extent possible.
If you attend a proprietary school, there might be further restrictions on the jobs you can be assigned.
Work experience has become an important part of student life. Many students view it as an important complement to their studies, while employers greatly value any practical experience graduates have gained during their degree.
For the student the benefits are many: an opportunity to practise their new skills in the workplace, a chance to test their career plans and a means of making contacts within their chosen field. It can also provide a useful source of income.
