Students will find a wealth of clubs in which to be involved. Numerous all-school programs and events are planned throughout the year to meet the needs and desires of students. Staff members are available to assist students in the development and implementation of new co-curricular activities to augment their success at The Art Institute of Seattle. The Student Employment Advisor helps students find part-time jobs while they are attending school. Many employers work directly with The Art Institute to find dependable part-time employees with stable class schedules.
All students have access to the job boards, which post current part-time openings.
The Student Employment Advisor works in partnership with students to determine which of these openings would best fit their needs, in addition to advising on other appropriate part-time opportunities for students to pursue on their own. Career Services also hosts a large part-time job fair each fall, and hiring managers from 50 to 60 companies come to recruit new students. Many companies, such as Starbucks and United Postal Service, recruit on-campus throughout the school year. Counseling Counseling is provided by two counselors with master's degrees in social work, psychology or related areas of study. The counselors offer a variety of awareness, intervention and support services addressing issues of emotional well-being.
