Student Employment

Student employment can be an important part of a student’s overall college experience. Not only can students enhance their academic experience through many positions, they also have the opportunity to acquire workplace skills, knowledge, and abilities while enrolled at Williams.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to create the need for some changes in our typical academic year hiring practices. Any updates will be posted here.

Please take a moment to review these bullet points. Additional resources can also be found below.

• The federal government requires that all employees, including students, complete the I-9 Form before they can begin working. The form must be completed in person.
• All student employment is to be completed in-person and on campus. Remote work is not permitted.
• All protocols and precautions for student employee health and safety must be followed.
• Effective with the 22-23 academic year, students are permitted to work a total of 20 hours per week. This limit will be closely monitored.
