The Relationship between Work Study and Career Development for Undergraduate Students
Akos, Patrick; Hutson, Bryant; Leonard, A. Joshua
Journal of Career Development, v49 n5 p1097-1107 Oct 2022
One route toward career preparation for college students comes from work experience. Internships demonstrate benefits, but there is limited inquiry on the career development benefits of Federal Work Study (FWS). Archival data from nearly 600 students at one Southeastern research I institution suggest a significant and positive relationship between FWS participation and career clarity, decisiveness, and satisfaction. We outline the opportunity for further inquiry on process variables and the potential impact of FWS on the career development of our most vulnerable college student populations.
