Student Employment Opportunities

Student Employment
Program Information Summary

Lake Erie College offers a variety of part-time employment opportunities to its students and recognizes that student employment is a valuable form of financial assistance that often provides a significant contribution to overall college expenses. In addition to financial assistance, working at Lake Erie College has other advantages, which include gaining valuable work experience, the convenience of working on campus to accommodate one’s class schedule, and the opportunity to become an integral part of the College community.

Almost every department and service area on campus utilizes student workers. These positions may or may not be career related, but all will certainly offer insights to the workings of the College and the “real world of work.”

There are two student employment programs available at Lake Erie College. The first is College Work-Study (CWS) and is a federally funded program for students who have demonstrated financial need. The second is General Student Employment (GSE), which is institutional financial assistance and is funded by Lake Erie College. After the Director of Financial Aid has recommended either CWS or GSE to the student as a form of self-help, and the student accepts this recommendation, the student will then complete an application and return it to the Career Services & Internships Office. The student employment process is coordinated through the Career Services & Internships Office, which is located on the lower level of College Hall.

If a student is interested in a job on campus and has not already completed an application, she/he may do so by contacting the Financial Aid Office at (440) 375-7000.  Once the student has completed the application, it should be forwarded to the student employment coordinator in the Career Services & Internships Office.

Details of the student employment process are indicated in the Student Employment Handbook.  Although completing an application does not guarantee the student will be hired, every reasonable attempt will be made to place the student.

Further questions may be directed to the Director of Career Services & Internships, at 440.375.7080 or campus extension 7080, or email:  career@lec.edu.
