Information Technology hires students throughout the semester to work for our Technology Support Services team at the Technology Support Center in Academic Commons 145, and as assistants to our Technology Support Services staff. We have opportunities available for IT Student Lab Attendants. Internal candidates can strive to become IT Student Support Representatives, our highest level of student worker and one with the most responsibility and reward. Students wishing for more technical and hands on experience with repairing equipment may be interested in the IT Student Intern positions.

Current Openings

Typically we hire most of our staff at the end of the current semester to train for the following semester, and at the beginning of the semester to fill any vacancies. We are not currently accepting applications.

When hiring, the IT Student Support staff's primary role is to assist other students with common technical support issues. Successful candidates will be trained in the role of IT Student Lab Attendant, who assist users at the Technology Support Center and in the labs with technical issues. Student workers are hired at minimum wage, can work up to 25 hours per week during regular semesters.

Students who are hired as IT Student Lab Attendants have the potential to become IT Student Support Representatives, who provide phone support to students, faculty and staff primarily during night and weekend hours. See IT Student Job Descriptions for more information on the duties and responsibilities of the IT Student Worker positions here at the Technology Support Center.
