The Experiment will test how changes to the FWS program will increase partnerships between institutions and industry, improve student retention and completion, reduce student debt levels, and yield strong post-graduation employment outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">According to ED, more than 90 percent of FWS wages are paid to students employed in on-campus jobs that frequently do not align with their program of study or future career interests. Additionally, in 2016\u20132017, at least 3,000 colleges and universities provided more than 600,000 students with FWS opportunities, but less than one-tenth of one percent supported off-campus employment with private-sector employers. Current regulations require even small-business employers to pay a higher proportion of wages as compared to on-campus employment or off-campus employment at non-profit organizations, further raising barriers to work experience that may be better-aligned to the student\u2019s future employment goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cThis will be a great opportunity for our students to expand their work experience with outside employers that can give them first-hand industry experience in their chosen career pathway,\u201d said Robert Merino, San Jacinto College dean of financial aid services. \u201cThe FWS Experiment will also allow students to earn additional wages with increased hours rather than having to stick to the current 19.5 hours per week.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Institutions participating in the experimental site will be granted waivers, which encourage them to expand the use of FWS funds to support more students working in the private sector and, for the first time, allow them to pay low-income students for work experiences required by their academic programs, such as student teaching and clinical rotations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cFinancially speaking, employers are able to hire employees without having to fully commit to the amount it would typically cost to employ someone,\u201d said Brittany Bonds, San Jacinto College career services coordinator. \u201cThey also help students gain that valued experience and build a relationship with the College, which supports workforce development in those industries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Bonds added that providing FWS students with these new work experience opportunities also allows them to build better resumes that will help them land those first full-time jobs after completing their degree or certificate programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cHaving FWS funds available for students to work off campus also means that students will have more practical, real-world experience that can support their skills, qualifications, and professional experience on their resumes which will be a great advantage when they step into the job market.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Photo courtesy of San Jacinto College.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to San Jacinto College moving to altered operations during COVID-19, the FWS Experiment will be implemented once the College transitions back to normal operations.
