Part-Time Work Portfolio I
Catalog Description
This Work Portfolio is offered during the students’ second part-time study term. Campus work assignments function rather like classes and even have prerequisites for full-time work. Beginning at basic levels of work, students are expected to progress to more skilled and responsible levels. Following a successful interview and accepting a position, students will complete the Learning Objective Agreement with their supervisors. At the midterm, students and supervisors will engage in a progress conference from which students will submit a two- to three-page plan for improvement during the remainder of the term and a revised Learning Objective Agreement if needed. During the last week, students will review their final evaluation with his or her supervisor and submit a two- to three-page reflection on progress toward achieving his or her Learning Objectives and improvement plan. Following successful completion of assignments, each student will receive one credit per part-time work placement portfolio.
Course Overview
All Antioch College students work 10 hours per week (110 total hours) during each study term. This work is designed to provide an essential workforce to operate the College and local non-profits along with allowing students to prepare for their full-time work quarters. We expect students to gain experience in as many areas as possible recognizing that campus jobs change seasonally and local non-profit jobs may change annually. The goal is for every student to be hired by the end of the first week of classes.
The Part-time Work Portfolios are required classes and prerequisites for full-time work quarters. Beginning at basic levels of work, students are expected to progress to more skilled and responsible levels. Antioch College expects not only strong and consistent academic performance but also places a high value on solid performance in the work programs. Students are evaluated at the end of each semester by their supervisor.
