Student employment at CWRU offers a range of part-time work opportunities during the academic year. It is a partnership, and you are fulfilling a vital service necessary to our community through your participation. Working on campus offers you the opportunity to gain or refine important skills such as time management, customer service, and financial management without the need for off-campus transportation. We will provide a safe work environment, training and supervision, and bi-monthly payment of earnings based on your hourly rate and hours worked. These earnings can help with your personal expenses. The minimum hourly rate is $10.10.
