There are a variety of opportunities available, from roles in student services to positions within academic departments. These jobs are designed to fit around your class schedule, providing you with both income and experience. Whether you’re looking to build your resume, develop new skills, or just get more involved on campus, working at Loyalist offers a fulfilling way to enhance your college experience.

Keep in mind:

  • You are not alone! Many Loyalist students hold part-time jobs and work around their academic schedule
  • The long summer break in most programs (typically four months) allows most students time to earn a significant amount toward their college expenses. 
  • A two-year college program removes a student from the full-time workforce for only 16 months.
