"It Really Empowered Me": How College Students of Color Amplify Their Community Cultural Wealth and Soft Skill Development through On-Campus Student Employment
Christopher A. Burnett; Z. W. Taylor
Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship, v6 n2 p33-45 2024
Sparse research has explored how on-campus student employment may help students of Color develop soft skills to increase their career readiness. Filling this critical gap through Yosso's (2005) Community Cultural Wealth framework, this study explored how 12 graduates of Color developed soft skills working an on-campus position. Findings suggest students of Color predominantly developed interpersonal communication and organizational skills that helped them stay enrolled as students and assisted them as current professionals. Implications for research and practice are addressed.
