Waubonsee Community College promotes diversity in faculty, staff, and student recruitment and is committed to hiring and retaining exceptional faculty and staff who are committed to the college’s culture of collaboration, professional growth and student success.

Waubonsee Works Paid Work Experiences (PWEs) are funded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, in conjunction with the Kane County Office of Community Reinvestment. All applicants must be certified Waubonsee Works participants to be considered for these positions.

Waubonsee Works PWEs are meant to provide Waubonsee Works participants relevant industry work experiences that will increase their employability, improve their soft skills, and allow them to explore the career path they are most interested in.
