All available campus positions are posted on Handshake, the primary career platform for Pitzer and The Claremont Colleges. All students should be able to log in using their Pitzer username and password. Students can select the ‘Jobs’ tab, type ‘Pitzer’ in the search bar and filter for ‘On Campus Employment’ to find available positions. In addition to Pitzer, students can also search for Consortium employers under ‘TCCS On Campus Student Employment” in the employer search bar for positions at Claremont College departments.

Note to students with work-study: On-campus jobs are not designated ‘work-study’; however, supervisors are encouraged to prioritize hiring work-study recipients. Students with work-study can apply for any available job on Handshake (see Employers below for additional information regarding treatment of earnings from on-campus vs. off-campus employers).
Job Fair: An On-Campus Job Fair featuring Pitzer and consortium-based employers is scheduled every fall semester, usually during the first week of classes.
Student Employment Information Form
As a part of seeking campus employment, please complete the Student Employment Additional Information Form. This form will provide potential supervisors with your available work hours and work-study eligibility (if applicable).
You should submit this form to ALL jobs to which you apply. Note, supervisors may also request other documents (resume, cover letter, etc.).
Employers
Pitzer students can work in various positions within Pitzer, The Consortium and other organizations. All Pitzer students (those with work-study and those without) can apply to any job posted on Handshake, unless otherwise specified. However, many off-campus employers traditionally hire work-study students (as this is the source of their pay). In addition, many on-campus employers may give hiring preference to students with work-study. See below for details and limitations.
Pitzer (On-Campus) Employers
Any Pitzer student can apply for jobs with Pitzer departments/organizations. These are considered on-campus jobs and students are hired and paid by Pitzer College.
Work-Study: Work-study students can work for any on-campus department and utilize their work-study allotment. However, students are not restricted by their work-study and can earn more than their work-study allotment, so long as the department has available funding. It is the department’s responsibility to ensure that they have funds available in their student employment budget to pay their student employees.
Non-Work-Study: Students without work-study can work for any on-campus department. However, on-campus employers are encouraged to consider hiring work-study students.
