By engaging in our development opportunities and programming, you will help create a career-ready community grounded in social justice practices, while centering students and employment as a learning experience.
4D Signature Experience
Student Employment is a 4D signature experience that advances proficiency in the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE) career competencies. Through Student Employment, you will help students gain career readiness skills that transfer to post-graduate work opportunities.
You will help students grow their skillset, deepen and apply their thinking, reflect on their interests and goals, and gain new perspectives on work, education, and life. This process of connection, reflection, and discovery delivers on the 4D Experience, providing opportunities that support their intellectual growth, character exploration, well-being, and sense of purpose.

Financial Aid manages our Community Service Work-Study Program. If you are a nonprofit or government agency within 30 miles of DU that improves the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income residents, you may be eligible to become part of the community service work-study program!
This program allows students to utilize their work-study (part of their financial aid offer) to earn money to help finance their education through part-time employment. Partnerships between the University of Denver and community-service agencies are mutually beneficial to students and organizations, as students engage in meaningful service designed to meet community needs, and agencies share the responsibility of compensation with the federal government.
An organization that employs a student with work-study is expected to cover only 30% of the student’s wages. Check out how to Become a Community Service Work-Study Employer.
