How are Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Institutional Employment(IE) on-campus positions similar?

JMU - Federal Work-Study Frequently Asked Questions
Both are part-time positions which average approximately 10 hours per week. Because of the nature of on campus employment overall, supervisors will work with students each semester as their course schedule is adjusted to assist with accommodating the needs of the student while adhering to meeting their own needs as well. Working in a FWS or IE position will also typically provide more flexibility with scheduling (including exam and break periods) than an off campus position.
