Student jobs and civic service volunteers
Student jobs
Universities can recruit and employ students to perform various types of activities such as welcoming students, assisting and supporting students with disabilities, tutoring, and assisting library staff. These contracts are concluded for a maximum period of 12 months, with working hours not exceeding half-time during the academic year and compatible with the pursuit of studies.
Volunteers in civic service

- at least 24 hours per week;
- giving rise to the payment of compensation covered by the State, and additional support, in kind or in cash, covered by the host organization;
