Partners
Program Details
The Alamo Colleges District partners with private-sector employers to power its new Private-Sector Work-Study Program. Eligible students can work with a partnering employer with wages partially paid by Alamo Colleges through federal financial aid funds. Small businesses (as defined in 13 CFR 121) pay 25% of the students’ wages, while other businesses pay 50% of the students’ wages. Alamo Colleges pays the difference.
Partnering employers determine the position(s) offered, the number of hours worked per week (10 - 19 hours), and the hourly pay rate ($12.50 minimum). Employers commit to a student’s employment per semester and may rehire the student for subsequent semesters, or may hire a new student each semester. Employers are required to accommodate students’ academic schedules and activities.
COVID-19 Note: Students may work remotely or onsite with the proper adherence to local public health safety protocols.
