PART-TIME WORK FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The article draws attention to the Ukrainian full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) who want to combine their studies at a higher education institution with temporary short-term paid work. It is a situation is considered when a full-time student, who has the main activity of the study process in a higher education institution, has a desire to temporarily or once perform certain types of work in order to obtain income. For a student this work is not the main activity, but it is an activity that can take place only in his extracurricular time. In other words, our study examines current employment opportunities for full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) to their free time or in extracurricular activities. This article is about the state of opportunities and directions of organizing temporary employment with payment for work performed for full-time students. The article examines that about 90-99% of full-time students do not have the opportunity to improve their financial situation by applying for a paid job in the educational institution where they study. The study presented in the article showed that in Ukraine there are from 500 to 600 thousand full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) who do not have an entrepreneurially organized opportunity for fast and reliable temporary part-time work. Each student is looking for a temporary part-time job individually and individually outside of their institution. It is proposed to create such an entrepreneurial structure, which, on the one hand, tracks, collects and accumulates applications from legal entities and individuals for certain temporary jobs, and on the other hand, forms its own database of students wishing to work for pay. We are talking about a service business structure subordinated to the educational institution. In Ukraine, such structures are a rare phenomenon. Thus, according to the authors, the further development of research in the direction of the organization of student part-time work includes the development of entrepreneurial measures to create the above service structures under the direct regulation of the educational institution where the student studies.
