Student Worker Hiring Procedures
Before starting the hiring process for a student worker it is important to discuss with your supervisor any specific needs or expectations for any student workers within your department. You will also need to check your departmental budget for the amount and type of funding your department has, either federal funding, community service federal funding, or institutional funding.
All on-campus employers who plan to hire new student employees will need to participate in the On-Campus Student Employment Job Fair. They are held once in the spring and summer.
If you have any questions, contact Career Services, careerservices@uca.edu, or call 450.3250.
