Having trouble finding a job that can work with your schedule as a student? Look no further than here at American River College for jobs and internships.
ARC provides many different on-campus jobs from its variety of departments. Students can find jobs at the Learning Resource Center (LRC), the library, the Math Learning Center (MLC), Disability Services & Programs for Students (DSPS), Los Rios Jobs website and Handshake.
According to ARC’s website, all the departments accept applications on an ongoing basis. The LRC prefers to hire at the beginning of each term or as needed.
The ARC library only hires students that can help in the circulation and reference areas and fills the positions needed. If students are hired they would be working in circulation, the computer lab, and technical services.
The MLC hires students to tutor online math courses College Algebra for Liberal Arts (Math 333) through Intermediate Algebra (Math 120). For more information go to the website on MLC to contact the educators of the program.
DSPS offers employment and volunteer opportunities, and is occasionally looking for note takers and in-class aides for the fall and spring semesters. The volunteer note takers receive certificates of appreciation and paid positions are available for well-qualified students.
Los Rios Jobs website is always hiring a variety of full-time and part-time positions at all colleges within the Los Rios Community College District, such as Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College and Sacramento City College. Students will be able to find many schools hiring whether it is at ARC or another Los Rios college campus.
Handshake is a job and internship platform available for all students and alumni. This platform was made to give students and alumni an easygoing process to find full-time and part-time internships, jobs and volunteer opportunities. Students can schedule advising appointments, connect with employers, register for events and more.
These job and internship opportunities are a chance to start a great career for students, whether students want to apply for a work-study job or a full-time career.
Students on campus have had great experiences finding a job with the help of these resources.
“We have had many students tell us that they started as student help within a department, and then were able to move on to a permanent or temporary classified role,” Paola Murillo, a student support specialist at the ARC career center, said in an email. “ Moving up to a classified role inspires them to continue working in higher education, which is always great to hear—and they are always glad they started by applying for a role on campus. We always need motivated people in educational roles.”
The career center is also a great way to get more information about the jobs and internships if students are having trouble figuring it out on the websites.
“Definitely stop by the career center. Finding a student job is actually a lot easier than many think,” Murillo said. “Since all student jobs have to be posted on Handshake, our staff can show you directly where to look, how to bookmark posts, where to apply and what is needed to be submitted in the application. Finding a student job is the easy part, we promise.”
The career center is always encouraging students at ARC to seek their help to find a job. Students who are hoping to apply during the fall semester should start seeking help from the career center or from the ARC website immediately.
