Student Employee Handbook

Welcome to WPI's Student Employee Handbook. Starting a new position here at WPI presents exciting opportunities to gain valuable skillsets that will help later on in the job market. Student employees gain confidence in networking and professional development and develop a stronger sense of community as they work alongside their peers. Another benefit offered is the ability to offset the cost of education.

This resource also informs you about your rights, responsibilities, and expectations as you start your employment journey. We are here to help you succeed so we encourage you to take the time to read through the handbook and reach out to us with any questions. We look forward to the contributions that you will provide to our community.
