Here at MCC, we see student employment as career development. Working as a student employee allows students to earn a paycheck while taking advantage of the flexibility and convenience of working on campus. Students can also gain:
- Valuable skills and experience to include on a resume. This is especially important for those students who may have a limited work history.
- An opportunity to make connections and build a network of support
- Exposure to a real employment setting where they can begin to develop their unique brand. "What kind of employee am I?"
- Mastering the basics of professional communication
- An understanding of the job search/hiring process
- Knowledge of expectations in a professional workplace
