Students

Some students are fortunate to have predictable hours and can hold down a steady part time job. But some are on overlapping courses, maybe within different colleges. Multiple courses can each have their own rhythm of assignments, exams and preparation times. Other students have unpredictable commitments outside their studying that are a crucial part of their preperation for a future career.  It's these people who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of Slivers-of-Time Working.

Some of the students who most need ultra-flexible working are mature learners at Community Colleges. Often they have no grant but valuable skills. They need a forum to sell their expertise around a new determination to better themselves with further education. They can be a useful asset in the local economy.
