This type of process usually takes less than 15 minutes! however you are still paid for the entire hour plus overtime.

Most duties include moving and physically setting up speaker systems, projection equipment, and connecting various types of devices to projectors or televisions. Some advanced duties involve making video conference calls/connections with several applications including Cisco, Webex, and Zoom.

The Audio-Visual Tech Work-study position is technical and very much hands on! however no experience is required! We will train you on everything you need to know to succeed in this job.
