Work+ at ASU, designed by University College, integrates work and learning to foster student professional and personal growth. By aligning student employment with career goals, Work+ offers a transformative educational experience that cultivates a strong sense of identity, agency, and purpose.

Key outcomes of Work+ include increased career readiness, enriched supervisor relationships, and improved ability to articulate transferable skills, all of which contribute to their long-term career growth. Supported by the framework offered by Work+, ASU students are empowered to transform their employment into a platform for significant personal and professional development. Students are provided with resources and storytelling frameworks to take ownership of their work opportunities, leveraging them for personal and career development. This approach encourages students to engage deeply with their work, utilizing their experiences to shape their future aspirations. Students build meaningful relationships with their supervisors, gaining insights and guidance that enrich their professional journey. This relationship, combined with a community framework, ensures students are supported and connected.

Work+ utilizes design thinking to better build tools and resources to address needs at their core. Supervisors and students have been involved in every step of the approach through listening sessions and design sprints. To further scale to the entirety of the institution, Work+ utilizes shared outcomes they will measure different aspects of the student employment experience with. The tools and resources available through Work+ are available for supervisors to design their own experience in the way they need to achieve the shared outcomes of increased career readiness, enriched supervisor relationships, and improved ability to articulate transferable skills.
