Celebrated the second full week of April"Each year colleges and universities across the country recognize the importance of the student work experience during National Student Employment Week. Student employment offers students career-enhancing opportunities, the ability to develop skills relevant in any career, and better preparation for the job market upon graduation." - NSEA
National Student Employment Week is celebrated each year across the country in order to recognize and appreciate the invaluable service of both student employees and student employment professionals.
The National Student Employment Association (NSEA) has declared that the second full week of April will serve to celebrate those students who work with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative to support their campus with a spectacular workforce.
UVM recognizes a Student Employee of the year for their outstanding contributions and achievements as part of National Student Employment Week. Supervisors may nominate a student employee using an online nomination form, which is sent out some time in March.
The nominator of the student employee winner will be notified the week prior to National Student Employment Week, and will be asked to keep this a surprise for the student. The SEO will work with you to schedule a time that the student is at work or could come to your department during National Student Employment Week, where the SEO will present the award to the student. We encourage you to invite as many staff and/or faculty to the celebration as possible since this is a very special form of recognition for the student.
