MAA offers a variety of work opportunities. Keeping in mind the personnel needs of the school’s industries and on-campus work needs, the work coordinator makes job assignments on the basis of the student’s abilities and interests.

Student Wages

At campus industries students earn Oregon minimum wage or better. Wood Products Northwest employs students 16 years of age and older and has the potential for regular raises for students with acceptable work grades. A minimal cash incentive is also available.

Other campus jobs are a part of the Work-Study Program and pay federal minimum wage. The average number of hours that students may work their jobs (except those employed by Wood Products Northwest) is 10 hours per week.
