College students looking for work
More than ever before, Mt.
Hood students are going to be
looking th is fa ll to local
businesses for part-time work
to help defray their college
expenses
The college itself is "usually”
a large employer for many
students through the "w ork
study" program
Federal monies provide 80
per cent of students' wages
while the college picks up the
remaining 20 per cent for work
done on campus
The formula w ill be the same
this fall but the problem is a
cutback in Federal funds
Simply enough, fewer college
jobs are going to be available so
students are going to have to
look off-campus for part-time
work,
MHCC fin a n c ia l aid p e r
sonnel are predicting as many
as 2,000 students are going to be
looking for part-tim e jobs
A job placement service at
the college helps students find
jobs Through em ploym ent
listings, job counselors screen
students and refer those most
q u a lifie d to the respective
employers
A larger job list is essential
this fall since more students
are going to be looking for
work
Employers in East M ult
nomah County are encouraged,
urged, cajoled and what have
you to c a ll the MHCC
placement office 1666-1561, Ext
264 and 265) when openings
occur
Students with a wide array of
skills are going to be available
for employment MHCC trains
students in some 50 vocational
and technical programs which
means that many have already
acquired considerable skill in a
number of areas
They’ll be looking for day
work, night work, weekend
w o r k - in
sh ort,
th e y ’ re
available anytime
To help the college's job
placem ent personnel, em
ployers should provide a full
description of job requirements
and em ployee expectations
when calling in job openings
By hiring MHCC students,
employers w ill be helping in
two ways—students w ill get the
financial help they need plus, in
many cases, the students w ill
receive invaluable practical
experience in th e ir career
fields
The philosophy of the
placement service is basically,
“ No job is too big
no job is
too small "
Again, anyone w ith job
openings < part tim e or full
tim e ' is asked to list those
openings w ith the MHCC
placement office
There are many students
whose education is going to
depend on their ability to get
part-tim e work this year
