Job opportunities

American College Program students are only allowed to work at the conclusion of the academic year but with certain restrictions. Any work undertaken is clearly outside the auspices of the American College Program. Students who wish to find work must do so on their own upon arrival in Switzerland. The staff of American College Program is not in a position to seek employment for students.

Nevertheless, some students manage to find part-time work during the school year. Eager students who seriously look for part-time jobs generally find something to supplement their budgets (washing dishes, waiting tables, giving English lessons, house cleaning, baby sitting, etc.). Some students are successful in arranging summer employment at the end of the academic year, as well. Personal motivation and French/German language ability seem to be the biggest factors in finding such jobs.
