Abstract

College students participate in work for a variety of reasons, and evidence suggests multiple career development benefits from the experience. The coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic has transformed many of these work opportunities, including the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program. Pilot data from one university in the Southeast suggests comparable career development outcomes between in-person and virtual work-study placements. We consider these data in the context of a necessary and possible transformed work landscape. © 2021 by the National Career Development Association
