FAQs

Does the program have any limitations?
Yes. Under the program, the jobs located and developed must be suitable to the scheduling and other needs of the student and must complement and reinforce the educational program employment goals of the student.

Who is eligible to hire these students?

Any profit or nonprofit employer is eligible to participate in the program.

Who pays the wages of the students who are hired?

The employer is responsible for paying all student wages and related payroll costs. The purpose of the program is not to supplement student wages, but rather to locate and develop local job opportunities.

What additional information must an employer provide if a student is employed through the program?

The employer must report to the institution the number of students who are hired when they were hired and the hourly rate.

Who will interview and hire these students?

The Office of Career Education acts as a clearinghouse or referral service. It puts students in touch with local employers who need part-time workers. Therefore, all interviewing and hiring is done by employers following their own needs and hiring practices. Throughout the process, you will treat the student just as you would any other employee.

Will the jobs located and developed under the program result in the displacement of employed workers?

No. The jobs located and developed under the program must not displace employees or impair existing service contracts.
