Interested in working while on campus?
Working on campus is a great opportunity for you to gain valuable work experience, earn money and build professional connections. Plus, student employment offers flexibility with your class schedule, practice and performance/game schedules, and you can walk to work.
Alma College departments employ students in a variety of positions including: clerks, office assistants, lab assistants, custodians, tutors, library assistants, resident assistants, first year guides, mentors, referees, life guards and more.

PlaidWorks Micro-Internship
The PlaidWorks Micro-internship grant is available to Alma students and graduates in amounts of $250 (for projects of approximately 20 hours) or $500 (for projects of approximately 40 hours) for the completion of micro-internship projects for not-for-profit and civic organizations, while grant funds last.
When you complete a PlaidWorks micro-internship, you gain work experience and explore career paths, while non-profit host organizations benefit from skilled assistance with projects that support their mission. Examples of projects could include: social media review or content generation, research and data analysis, copywriting, and data cleaning.
