Long Beach City College is accepting applications for students who are interested in working as assistants or tutors starting at $15 an hour for either campus.
Applications are available on the school’s website and can be submitted anytime throughout the semester.
These positions are available for students who are interested in getting more involved with the school community while also getting paid.
Gabrielle Cross, who is a part of the Learning and Resources center, explained the requirements for students interested in applying.
“A student has to be a full time student, as well as they need to share their availability and need to be able to work up to a total of 20 hours per week. When you fill out the application, you have the option of filling out what center and what campus you are interested in working for,” Cross said.
Cross also mentioned how students are able to work in different centers throughout the week until the 20 hours are accumulated.
Each application is to be submitted into a hub that stores all the applications in the order they are received and allows staff to select students for interviews.
Cross encourages anyone who is interested in working to apply and join the LBCC staff.
Students also have the opportunity of becoming a tutor for a certain subject. The subjects vary by semester and by which are most in demand.
In order to become a tutor, it is a separate application that requires a reference from the professor they took the subject, as well as proof of earning a B or higher in the course.
Sean Dominguez, tutor coordinator at the LAC campus, gave more information about the benefits of becoming a tutor for LBCC.
“It keeps the information they learn in class fresh because as long as they’re bringing it up to other students it can help them in their future classes and when you tutor a subject you know it even better,” Dominguez said.
These positions available on campus can help students be more involved with their college community and are also opportunities for students who wish to become aware of available resources on campus.
