Possibilities of Employment

To facilitate adjustment to seminary life, it is recommended that entering students carefully anticipate fees, basic living expenses and moving costs and make provision in advance for meeting these financial obligations.

Church Work - The seminary encourages students to be actively involved in the life of the local churches they attend. Students interested in seeking paid staff positions in local churches should seek the counsel of the student field ministry office.

On the Campus - A limited number of work opportunities are available on campus, both for students and for spouses. Employment for students is part-time and may be applied for directly in areas such as the Child Development Center, Ledford Center, Library, Physical Plant and in some administrative offices. Fellows and graders are assigned by invitation of faculty members. Employment for spouses may be either full-time or part-time. Applicants with skills and interests in specialized areas may apply directly in those areas; however, all applications are forwarded to the employment office.

Wake Forest and other Communities - Southeastern Employment Office - Students may secure remunerative work in Wake Forest and nearby cities and towns. Wake Forest is within 20 minutes driving distance of Raleigh and within 30 minutes of Durham. Many students and their spouses find employment in these centers. Southeastern aids students seeking positions in these areas through the Southeastern employment office. You can contact the employment office at (919) 761-2365 or take a look at the current listing of jobs listed with the employment office.

In no instance can definite employment in the churches or in the adjacent communities be guaranteed by the seminary.
