Students at EIT usually look for part-time work in the towns and cities where their campus is based. The best options depend on the student's timetable, location and visa conditions.

Common Part-Time Job Types

Students often look for work in:

• Retail
• Hospitality
• Administrative support
• Customer service
• Campus services
• Seasonal or regional work
• Health and care support roles where appropriate

What To Keep In Mind

Students studying in Hawke's Bay or Tairāwhiti may find fewer job listings than in a larger city, but the trade-off is often a lower-cost, more manageable lifestyle. Auckland offers more variety, but competition can be stronger.

Student Takeaway

EIT's regional footprint means part-time work is possible, but the smartest choice is the one that fits around study and still leaves enough energy for the actual course.
