Foothill College work opportunities are part-time positions. Wages begin at $8 per hour and can reach $14 per hour. Students are limited to a maximum of 19 hours per week. This limit applies whether school is in session or not.

Non Federal Work-Study jobs are called District Employment and students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 units at Foothill College to be eligible for these jobs. The Policies and Procedures governing student employment are district wide and apply at both De Anza and Foothill Colleges.

The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for students who have financial need and want to earn a part of their educational expenses through employment. Community service work opportunities are also available through the Federal Work-Study Program. Students cannot work over the award amount allocated for a work-study assignment. When a work-study award is made, the student is responsible for arranging an interview with the Financial Aid Office for job placement. For Foothill supervisors who wish to post an available position, please print, complete and forward the Federal Workstudy Job Announcement form to the Financial Aid Office.
