Current openings in Zambia
Students might have the urge to work part-time during their free time as a way of making an extra income.
Students can work for not more than 30 hours a week when partaking in part-time work as exceeding those proposed hours might compromise the student’s academic performance. Part-time work is meant to support the student’s needs such as food and toiletries.
We encourage you to consider earning a small income, whilst studying for your program.
Besides the financial aspect, part-time jobs will also help you gain hands-on experience, meet new people, and network with the locals, which in turn increases your social scope.
This is the exposure that the lecture room cannot provide and will last for future use. This is one of the reasons why it is important to have a part-time job.
Zambia does not allow international students to work, however, there are other services you can provide that might help you get an income.
It is also important to find out from your university of choice if it offers part-time in its premises or internship placement opportunities for international students at other institutions.
RocApply will also help you secure any opportunities at its disposal through its various partners
International students should consider working in the campus cafeteria as cooks, at stores as sales agents, restaurants as waiters, hotels as servers, potters, and front-desk operatives.
During the school holidays, you might consider taking them full-time work so that you reduce the following semester’s financial pressure.
Part-time work gives your CV/Resume a boost when you are looking for a stable income-generating job in the future as employers are always searching for employees who possess a certain level of work experience. That is why it is important to also consider volunteering for non-profit organizations if you are failing to get employment.
A good example of what you can do is being a career coach. Non-Governmental Organisations that deal with adolescents are always open for volunteers in exchange for free or a stipend.
