This year The Division of Human Resources is pleased to offer the Youth Summer Worker (YSW) and Academic Internship (AI) Programs. These programs were developed to provide UNM Departments with the ability to engage high school and non-UNM College students through internship opportunities. Both the YSM Program and the AI Program provide student recruitment opportunities by highlighting UNM as an employer and higher education institution of choice.
The chart below outlines qualifications for each job title within the Non-UNM Student Hire Program. All Non-UNM Student Hire positions may be requested through a competitive or non-competitive process, depending on each department’s unique business needs.
UNMTemps facilitates the Non-UNM Student Hire Process for all UNM Departments, reducing the amount of time UNM departments spend on the hiring process and ensuring compliance with all Child Labor Laws. Non-UNM Student positions are subject to normal UNMTemps administrative fees.

Minors on Campus
Per Section 4.2 of UAP Policy 2205, all Authorized Adults must complete a satisfactory background check within twelve (12) months prior to participating in any University Program involving minors. If individuals selected for hire are under 18, the department must submit a Background Check Request for every Authorized Adult who will interact with the minor employee. Minor employees may not begin work until all required background checks are completed.
Please refer to the program information including request process and requirements on the Non-UNM Student Hire Program website. You may also contact the UNMTemps department for more information by calling 505-277-1405 or emailing UNMTemps@unm.edu.
