High school summer jobs at University of Michigan?

I'd like to work over the summer in Ann Arbor, and I'm curious if the University of Michigan offers any job opportunities for high school students. Does anyone know if they hire students for summer positions?

University of Michigan does indeed provide summer employment opportunities, although they mainly target their current students. The largest summer employer at the university is usually their housing division—they hire students for dormitory and dining hall positions, among other roles.

That said, it doesn't hurt to check the University's job postings, which you can find on their website. Filter for "Temporary" to find short-term jobs. Other relevant sources could be the Student Life or the Athletics Department, which sometimes offer part-time roles that high school students might be eligible for, like event setup crews or assistants.

If working directly for the University does not pan out, you could also explore other opportunities in Ann Arbor. Summer often sees increased demand in sectors like retail, food service, and childcare, which can be great for high school students. Local businesses and other organizations like the Ann Arbor Parks & Rec might be hiring as well.

Remember to highlight any relevant experience or skills you have when applying, even if they're from school, volunteering, or extracurricular activities. And don't hesitate to apply to multiple positions—it will increase your chances of securing a job. Good luck!
