Student Employee Program

Building a strong future for public transportation means investing in the industry leaders of tomorrow. With that focus, TRANSITiON, Palm Tran’s Learning Academy, has launched a paid Student Employee Program designed to nurture interest in public transportation. The pilot program is a partnership between the student and each participating department to learn, foster innovative ideas and provide real work experience beyond the campus.

Each student employee is paid $12.50 an hour, up to 1,000 hours, for a maximum of $12,500. To participate in the program, students must be enrolled in an accredited educational or vocational program throughout their employment. It is not a student intern program, which is an unpaid position to fulfill a curriculum requirement for graduation. There are five student employee positions.
