Work Program
Every student works, and our Work Program is different from other jobs because of the emphasis on work-learning. All of your work experiences will help you develop skills employers look for and will integrate with academics and community engagement to enrich your education.
You’ll work each week
In your first year, you’ll log at least 10 hours a week with one of 70+ work crews, with the chance for more hours and leadership roles as you progress.
You’ll learn and grow
97% of Warren Wilson alumni reported that their participation in the Work Program helped prepare them for their career.
Preparing for your career
Your work crew supervisor will give you a formal work evaluation each semester, helping you develop your professional skills.
Build Community
We’re a self-sustaining community, where everybody does their part to keep the college running. Crews become part of your identity, and crew members become like family. Living and working together creates a sense of community pride that you can’t quite grasp until you see it for yourself.
Build Your Resume
Between work, research, service-learning experiences and internships, our graduates leave well-prepared to lead meaningful lives and careers. They’re praised by employers for their ability to think critically across disciplines and their ability to work hard.
