Student Employment Training Program

While it is often difficult to find time to spend in training new employees, it is important. The Student Employment Training Program is a self-paced training program for all students who participate in the student employment program at St. Edward's University. The program is administered under the direction of the students' supervisor.  Handbooks are available for both student employees and supervisors of student employees.

 

Math and Reading Tutoring Program

The Math and Reading Tutoring Program, formerly called America Reads/Counts, are based on the philosophy that children are our nation's greatest asset. It calls on students to support teachers and help ensure that every child can read well and perform basic mathematical functions by the end of the third grade. Math tutors (America Counts) can also work with children through the ninth grade. Eligible and dedicated college students are called to serve as tutors, mentors, and role models. Students must be awarded Federal Work-Study as part of their financial aid offer to participate in this tutoring program.
