Student Employment Workshop

All first-time student employment applicants are required to complete the Student Employment Workshop which explains all the important steps in the application process, your responsibilities as a student employee, and compensation. Students must self-enroll and complete the workshop before they can complete an employment application in JobX.

If you previously held a student employment position at NSU and you have completed the Student Employment Workshop in Canvas, you DO NOT need to complete another Student Employment Workshop. If you would like to apply for other positions, log in to SharkLink and apply for additional positions through JobX.

How to Self-Enroll for the Workshop

1. Login to SharkLink. 
2. Select the "Applications" page from the lower half of your navigation bar.

5. Access and complete the Student Workshop course.
6. You must pass the quiz (13 or more points) that follows the presentation.
