Hire a student
Instructions for PCC staff hiring for on-campus jobs.
Thinking about hiring a student to work in your department? Great idea! You need help and students need experience, so hiring students is a win-win situation.
How to make it happen
Did you know that PCC employs thousands of student workers every year? Get in on some of that action!
-
Find funding
- Work study funds: funds distributed through a student’s financial aid package. Work study awards can last up to one academic year at a time. Students usually work less than 12 hours per week. Here’s how to get work study funds.
- Casual funds: funds distributed through your department. Casual students can work year-round but are limited to 599 hours per year. See HR’s guidelines for setting up casual employment.
- Student employment funds: like casual funds, these are distributed through your department. Unlike casual funds, students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours. See HR’s student employment guidelines.
- Internships: can’t offer a paycheck? You may be able to offer an internship. To see if your department is eligible, contact the Jobs and Internships Office on your campus.
-
Post position on job board
- Required:
All student jobs must be posted on the student job board. This makes the hiring process more fair. Relying on printed flyers or word-of-mouth can unintentionally exclude people: think of a student with a mobility impairment who can’t “pound the pavement”, or a student who takes classes on another campus. They deserve the same access to opportunities.
- Other ways to advertise (optional):
- Contact the Jobs and Internships Specialist for the academic program related to your field. This is an amazing way to find qualified, enthusiastic students!
- Post job flyers on Student 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网-sponsored bulletin boards around campus.
- For casual positions, you can advertise to the public on job boards like Indeed.com or Craigslist.
