The Co-Curriculum of College Student Employment: Perspectives from Supervising Practitioners
Brittany Begley Wildman
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Kentucky
College student employees are not only serving the overall mission of their institutions, but also developing career readiness skills through daily interactions while at work. In this study, I explore the perceptions of the supervisors of student employees as both managers and student affairs professionals. Through one-on-one interviews with supervisors, discussing their interactions with students, I explore the implicit and explicit curricula they provide to their students using a curriculum analysis framework. I then compare the resulting learning outcomes against those identified in industry standards. The supervisors described supporting student employees' personal development during the student employment experience as well as through informal mentoring relationships. Identifying the student development potential of student employment can contribute to the development of more purposeful student employment experiences with a lasting impact on students, supervisors, and the institutional mission.
