CLASS IV ADVANCED LEVEL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING POSITION

Class IV positions require skill, knowledge, and/or training in specific areas. These jobs may prepare the student for a professional career. Work performed under this classification is different from other student labor and Work-Study jobs as standard job descriptions do not exist for these positions. Supervisors wishing to hire new students under an advanced level professional training position should provide detailed information regarding the position's duties and requirements as part of the advertising process. This will clearly illustrate to applicants how the position differs from other jobs at the Class III level within that same job category.

On-campus departments do not need Student Employment's approval to hire or promote specific students to advanced-level positions. Employers should maintain Class IV job descriptions within students' personnel records filed within the department.
