Part-Time Student Jobs

Both on-campus and off-campus student jobs are available to KU students. Our goal is to assist University of Kansas students in obtaining employment while they are attending KU, so they can earn money for college, develop new job skills, build a resume and gain valuable professional experience.

Off-Campus Student Jobs

The job location and development (JLD) program sponsored by the University Career Center (UCC) and the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships locates and develops off-campus job opportunities (full or part-time, seasonal, or temporary) in Lawrence, Topeka and the Kansas City Metropolitan area. All off campus student jobs are posted in KU Career Connections.
