Students will engage in monthly sessions with LAS leaders to explore career pathways, develop job-seeking skills, and build experience. This is a paid opportunity ($15/hour) with preference given to work study students (if you don’t currently have work study, please reach out to the Financial Aid Office for more information). Students typically work 10 hours per week, and course credit may also be available.
