RE: Getting word out to students?

Probably the fastest link would be through the students affairs
officers. They maintain their own email list. Not only do they keep
a list of undergrads in their departments, they also often know who
needs a job (they often help with job search resources) and whether
they are potentially good employees.
   My own prejudice is that if you stick to work study employees only,
you're limiting your pool of potentials enormously, especially if you
want them to already have well-developed skills. Don't forget that
lower income students, who are most motivated to show up on the job,
often figure out that work study awards lower their total financial
aid cash package, and they end up with less financial support over a
school year when they take work study jobs. I myself, many years
ago, discovered that work study tends to pay less than market-rate
part-time jobs when the worker has sellable professional skills (like
html coding).
    But if you plan to train, this is less of an issue.
