Carthage Dining is hiring: Here’s why your student should apply!

As the new school year approaches, Carthage Dining is gearing up and looking for students to join our team! Working on campus is one of the most convenient and rewarding ways for students to earn money, build skills, and become part of the Carthage community — and there’s no better place to do it than with Parkhurst Dining.

We’re adding more job opportunities throughout the summer, so students should keep an eye on Handshake and our Parkhurstsmiles.com as we get closer to move-in.

Here’s why working with us is a great opportunity for students:

Flexible scheduling for busy students
Balancing classes, studying, and campus life is a priority. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling that works with academic commitments — students can work with their supervisors to build a schedule that works best for all.

Growth and career development
Even if food service isn’t their long-term goal, working with Parkhurst helps students build essential workplace skills: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and leadership. There are also opportunities for students who want to advance in food service and hospitality.

Perks, benefits, and more
Students working with Carthage Dining enjoy some great perks:

A free meal during every shift

20% discount at Eat’n Park, Hello Bistro, The Porch, and other Parkhurst Dining locations

PTO eligibility for part-time employees

401(k) access, plus optional vision, dental, and medical plans

Training and development through our Smile Universe learning platform

Positive and supportive work environment
Students consistently tell us they enjoy the friendly, team-focused environment in our dining halls and cafés. Many describe their co-workers as one of the best parts of the job — it’s a place to make friends, stay connected, and feel supported.

Things to keep in mind

While the experience is overwhelmingly positive, some roles may have fast-paced shifts, and there may be less available work during campus breaks. That said, students often find the benefits, flexibility, and team spirit make it well worth it.

How to apply

Job postings will continue to go live throughout the summer. Students can apply through Handshake or on the Carthage Dining website. We encourage them to check back regularly as we update our open positions closer to the start of the school year.

If your student is looking for a job that’s convenient, flexible, and offers valuable experience — Carthage Dining is a fantastic place to start. We can’t wait to welcome new faces to the team!
