Work Study Student Program 2026/2027
What you'd do
The Library of Congress Work Study Student Program is a progressive, career development program for local high school students. It combines on-the-job training and career development with classroom instructions and education. Under the program, students earn a federal salary, receive work site supervision and career assistance. Students will get the chance to work part-time when school is in session with the possibility of full-time employment during school breaks.
Major duties

Work Study Students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of library work: copyright, preservation, reference, access standards, and information management.
