Not sure if you're Eligible? 

We invite students to submit an application, even if they don't know if they're eligible. All LAEP applications will be reviewed by Financial Aid to confirm eligibility. The Career Hub wants to support all students in developing learning-aligned employment opportunities, regardless of LAEP eligibility. Start the process and let's see where it goes. 

 

Do you need a LAEP job already lined up before applying?

No! Having a LAEP position already lined up is welcome, but not necessary. Our LAEP Coordinator will work with eligible students to find a LAEP position.
