We are looking for someone with good judgment and people skills, as well as someone who is a team player.

Applicants must: 1) Have a high school diploma; although a Bachelor’s degree or degree in progress is preferred, 2) Have good computer skills to assist students in the computer lab. The work year for this position is 12 months and the normal workweek will average a minimum of 20 hours. Compensation includes a salary, reduced rent, and benefits.
