Student Employment professionals play a vital role in the lives of the students that we assist. Issues such as the increasing importance of student employees, legal issues, reauthorization, the America Reads Program, community service, changes in technology, funding fluctuations, etc. are areas of importance to us in our profession.

Being a Student Employment professional requires creativity, innovation, and the ability to look beyond "the way it's always been done." The members of NSEA successfully master these areas everyday and are ready and willing to share their knowledge and expertise with you. Join the network and find out how to improve services to students and communicate more effectively with employers, learn and grow professionally, and take your programs to new heights.

The NSEA membership is composed of professionals in a variety of fields, joined for the common purpose of assisting current college students in finding employment. Membership is open to all professionals interested in student employment or hiring students.
