What Are Remote Jobs for Students?

Remote student jobs are flexible, part-time jobs that students can perform online. These jobs are either entry-level positions that do not require a college degree or that focus on services that students already have the skills and abilities to provide. College students can work as virtual tutors in the subject in which they specialize. Students can also work as virtual assistants either in a general field such as business or in a field related to their area of study. Students can also pursue jobs that require little training, such as data entry or customer service jobs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Student, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Student, you need strong self-motivation, time management, and digital literacy, along with access to the necessary academic prerequisites for your courses. Familiarity with online learning platforms like Zoom, Google Classroom, or Canvas, and proficiency with collaboration tools such as Google Drive or Microsoft Teams are typically required. Excellent communication, adaptability, and self-discipline set standout remote students apart. These skills are essential for maintaining academic performance, meeting deadlines, and effectively engaging in a virtual learning environment.

What are remote students?

Remote students are individuals who pursue their education through online platforms rather than attending classes in person. They participate in virtual classrooms, complete assignments online, and communicate with instructors and peers using digital tools. Remote learning offers flexibility, allowing students to study from any location and often at their own pace. This format is commonly used by universities, colleges, and online schools to accommodate students' diverse needs and schedules.

What is the difference between Remote Student vs Remote Intern?

AspectRemote StudentRemote Intern
Required CredentialsEnrolled in an educational program, no formal certification neededTypically students or recent graduates, may require specific coursework or skills
Work EnvironmentFlexible, often part-time, with supervision from educational institutionsProfessional setting, often with mentorship, may involve project-based tasks
Employer & Industry UsageEducational institutions, non-profits, startupsCompanies across industries offering training and experience

Remote Students are primarily enrolled in educational programs and seek flexible, part-time opportunities to gain experience. Remote Interns are usually recent graduates or students gaining practical work experience in a professional environment. While both roles involve remote work, Remote Interns often work under mentorship in a more structured setting, whereas Remote Students focus on balancing studies with work.

What are some strategies for staying productive and motivated as a Remote Student?

As a Remote Student, maintaining productivity and motivation can be challenging due to fewer in-person interactions and more flexibility in your schedule. Setting a consistent daily routine, creating a dedicated study space, and breaking larger assignments into smaller, manageable tasks can help you stay on track. Regularly communicating with peers and instructors through online platforms fosters accountability and helps combat feelings of isolation. Utilizing digital tools for time management and actively participating in virtual discussions are also effective ways to keep engaged and motivated throughout your studies.

We are looking for Full-time, Remote Pilot Operator (RPO) candidates to join the SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at the Salt Lake ARTCC (ZLC) in Salt Lake City, UT, supporting air traffic controller training services for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Job Description:

The RPO plays the role of the pilot and other controllers in the Air Traffic Controller training simulator.  The RPO operates a combination of a simulated radar display and voice communication system to simulate the actions and communication of pilots and remote ATC facilities during medium and high-fidelity training exercises. RPOs receive voice commands from students, input proper entries into the automated system to simulate pilot actions, translate displayed information into appropriate ATC terminology, and respond to the student via the VCS utilizing proper phraseology.

The candidate will be required to complete the following certifications: Classroom (pass test on airspace and procedures) and Lab (perform as a Remote Pilot Operator on all positions).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring that air traffic control specialists provide the flying public with a high level of safety and professionalism. A well-trained Air Traffic Control (ATC) workforce plays an essential role in fulfilling this responsibility. The FAA employs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers. They work in air traffic facilities of varying sizes, safely separating more than 50,000 aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) each day.

To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists. The FAA utilizes Contractor-provided instructional services at FAA ATC facilities throughout the U.S. and its Territories to ensure these training needs are met. The scope of the contractor-provided services includes all training and training program support to successfully train and prepare students to become fully certified air traffic controllers. SAIC must provide training and training related support services as required for all types and levels of ATC facilities.

Required Qualifications:

  • US Citizenship is required with the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance
  • Candidates for this position must have a minimum of a high school diploma (or equivalent) and demonstrate basic computer proficiency
  • Candidates must possess an ability to read and interpret materials such as diagrams and manuals and have the ability to speak clearly and be understood

Desired Skills and Experience:

  • Experience working in a multidisciplinary team (Multimedia Developers, Quality Assurance, Instructions System Designers, Subject Matter Experts, Instructors)
  • Experience and certification in ATC Tower, TRACON or En Route simulation lab is strongly desired, but not required
  • Effective oral and written communications skills
  • Working knowledge of the FAAO JO 7110.65 is strongly desired, but not required
  • Effective team building skills
  • MS Office Suite Proficiency (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.)
  • Basic familiarization of current technologic tools (tablets, notebooks, applications, etc.)
  • Basic familiarization or experience with pilot/controller communications or phraseology
