Student Employment

The purpose of the Student Employment Program at Principia is to provide students with the opportunity to develop and practice a good work ethic, to learn new skills, and to contribute to the Principia community by providing valued services as part-time student employees. All student employees are required to engage in 150 hours of work in a service department (Facilities, Dining Services, etc.) during their time as a student worker, which can easily be completed within two semesters. Once a student employee is working in a service position, they are welcome to seek other non-service jobs, as long as they continue to work towards their service hour requirement.

Students are responsible for completing employment applications and providing proper identification in order to secure employment. The Human Resources Office works to find a good match between a student’s interests, skills, experience, class schedule, and the needs of departments seeking student workers.
