UMBCworks is the university's centralized online recruitment system. You can hire UMBC students on a part-time basis to help you with work-life responsibilities such as babysitting, tutoring, pet care, house sitting, etc. This platform allows you to post part-time jobs and locate UMBC students to hire.
To gain access to UMBCworks, please contact the Career Center at careers@umbc.edu. The Career Center will set up a "Miscellaneous Household Opportunities" account for you. The system will only provide the town/state where you live (no street address) so students can determine if they are able to travel to the location. Students are able to see the job description you provide, but they will not have access to your contact information unless you choose. UMBCworks will accumulate the resumes online and also have them sent to the provided e-mail address. UMBCworks is a great resource to connect with students looking for opportunities.
As an FYI, students have also been receiving messages through the Career Center to access UMBCworks as a place to look for this type of work. If you know of students who may benefit from this type of work, please refer them to UMBCworks.
