Welcome to the Hiring Students Toolkit!
We can make a difference for students! Co-curricular engagement—in particular, through on-campus positions—is a hallmark of the Queen’s experience. These roles include paid part-time jobs, peer positions and other volunteer roles, involvement in research activities, and roles in student organizations.
"Student positions are an essential part of the Queen’s experience—thank you to all departments that have maintained existing roles and created new roles where possible."
— Mark Green, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic)
In addition to the impact on students themselves, student positions can also have an immensely positive impact on the department.
Thanks for coming here to learn more about how you can support this goal. Since we know you are busy, we’ve developed the tools on this page to make it easy to create, recruit, onboard, and supervise student roles to support the Queen’s student experience.
