In Germany that term's often used loosely. I used to work in factories as a student. And in one place they called me a Werkstudent even though I didn't use any university placement service to get there and the job had nothing to do with my studies.

Work student body? Hier bin ich mir sehr unsicher. Student body heißt Studentenschaft. Aber wie man das Werk übersetzt, ist sehr fragwürdig. Auch factory oder plant wären denkbar. Ich glaube jedenfalls nicht, dass es dafür einen gängigen englischen Ausdruck gibt.
