Looking for a little help making ends meet? Many students supplement their income with part-time or summer employment, both on and off campus. Keep in mind:
- You are not alone! Many Loyalist students hold part-time jobs and work around their academic schedule
- The long summer break in most programs (typically four months) allows most students time to earn a significant amount towards their College expenses
- A two-year College program removes a student from the full-time workforce for only 16 months
Loyalist WORKS On-Campus Employment Initiative
The Loyalist WORKS On-Campus Employment Initiative provides part-time employment for full-time students at Loyalist College who qualify under the financial need guidelines. Over 200 on-campus jobs are created each year. Students not only earn needed income, they gain valuable job experience. These positions pay at least the minimum wage and are available in the Student Centre, Library, Admissions Office, the Computer Centre, SAL/FailSafe, as well in other departments.
