Flexible Support Team
Departments sometimes have short-term production or service needs that their regular student team cannot meet. In these cases, supervisors may request temporary support through the Flexible Support Team. This designation allows a student to work up to ten additional hours in another department for a short period, without interrupting their regular position. Students on the Flexible Support Team are paid from the receiving department's regular budget at $10.50 per hour.
Supervisors interested in using the Flexible Support Team should contact the Operations and Systems Coordinator before scheduling a student to work or reach out to the Program Office directly at workcollege@berea.edu.
Departments are also encouraged to collaborate informally by sharing students with similar skills during periods of heavier workload. This kind of informal work-sharing does not require additional paperwork, and hours are reported under the student's regular primary assignment.
