Paul Quinn College, Facilities Department
Paul Quinn College

Quote from the student: “I worked in the facilities department under the leadership of Nahydiel Molina. What I liked most about working in the facilities department was the opportunity to put my business management skills into action. The work was a hands-on experience that allowed me to meet staff and peers, all while earning money for my education.
"I learned to be a strategical thinker and implement preventative plans for our campus. Prior to working in facilities, I had not given the important details related to running a facility, campus, or business the proper thoughts.The skills I learned, such as team work, service, and maintaining a clean campus that efficiently functions, while working in facilities can transfer to my plans to operate my own business.
"Being a part of a work college and a work program has made my experience at Paul Quinn more than just attending classes. My experiences are invaluable because it has led to a summer internship. The program developed the skills and confidence in me that are needed for the world.”

OUR WORK COLLEGE MEMBERS
There are currently ten federally recognized Work Colleges, and nine are members of the Work Colleges Consortium. These institutions are small, private, liberal arts colleges with modest enrollments that range from about 150 to approximately 1,600 students. Each school is unique and operates the work program in a slightly different fashion. However, “work-learning-service” is a central component of each Work College. Student work, coupled with robust academics and a spirit of service, is the common denominator shared by all the Work Colleges.
