As a professionally focused institution, Champlain College takes great pride in providing opportunities for students to work on campus, in positions funded by Centers of Experience, campus departments and through the Federal Work-Study Program.
Student employment is an important part of the fabric of campus life. In many cases, it provides many students with their first professional work experience and the opportunity to:
· Engage in the daily operations of campus departments;
· Establish a feeling of connectedness as they become acquainted with faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow student employees;
· Understand the value of teamwork;
· Learn and develop time management, computer skills, leadership skills and other work-related competencies;
· Build self-esteem as they are recognized for their accomplishments;
· Earn references which will be useful when applying to future jobs and internships;
· Build experience for their resume and serve as a first step to launch their careers.
