What this work gives you

Here your course of study decides what you may do

In most student jobs, any field of study works. In technical work your field matters, and for more than employer preference. The law attaches rights to it: part of the work is allowed only if your course of study matches that activity.

That is why we always ask about your training for a technical assignment. The aim: a workstation where you are legally allowed to be and where you learn something that belongs to your field.

Good to know

Pay, hours and the 2026 rules

What do you earn in a technical student job?

In technical roles your pay follows the scale of your employer’s joint committee and the job level. If you are studying for a technical degree or industrial sciences, you move sooner into measuring and inspection work, which is graded higher.

How many hours can you work while keeping the benefit?

Since the Act of 10 April 2025 you may work 650 hours per calendar year on a student employment contract, and that quota is permanent, according to the NSSO. On those hours you and your employer together pay a solidarity contribution of 8.13%, of which 2.71% is yours. Beyond 650 hours, the ordinary contributions of 13.07% apply from the 651st hour, on those extra hours only. Your counter is on Student@work.

Which work may young people not do?

Young workers may not operate dangerous machinery or carry out dangerous work, such as driving excavators, using powder-actuated tools, or welding and cutting. Exposure to harmful or toxic substances, ionising radiation, extreme heat or cold, noise and vibration is not allowed either.

And the exception to that?

You may still carry out that work when four conditions are met together: you are over 18, you do not drive motorised transport equipment, you follow a course of study matching the activity, and the committee for prevention and protection at work and the prevention advisers have given their opinion.

Frequently asked questions

About a technical student job

For workshop support and materials management, no. For repair and inspection work we do look at your course of study.

Yes. Every young worker under 18 must have a health assessment beforehand, as must anyone doing night work. Your employer arranges that for you.

650 hours per calendar year at the solidarity contribution of 8.13%, according to the NSSO. Your counter is on Student@work.

Yes, your employer supplies them. A risk assessment for young workers must also be in place before you start, and it is renewed every year.

A student job differs from an internship, but the work often ties in with one. Students who stay two years with the same employer regularly end up there permanently after graduating.
