How do I get a job?

The Student Employment Program provides Undergraduate and Graduate students with many different opportunities to find employment both on and off campus.

GETTING STARTED

Three interrelated programs make up the entire Student Employment Program:

On Campus Student Employment:
 The On Campus Student Employment Program consists of the Federal Work Study (FWS) and University Funded (UF) programs. There is no difference between the two except that their earnings are coming from two different budgets. All criteria are the same for these positions. However, not all departments have departmental, or university-based resources available to hire students and must rely on the FWS eligible students.

Community Service:
 The Community Service program is available for those students who are eligible for Federal Work Study only. This program provides students the opportunity to work with the local communities in programs developed to benefit the surrounding neighborhoods. these positions are available both on and off campus, while many of them are based off campus.

Off Campus Job Location and Development (JLD):
 The JLD program was started several years ago to provide a resource to our students. It serves as a posting facility for local organizations and businesses to post their part-time job opportunities with SHU. This program provides a reasonable opportunity to find work for every student who wants to work, regardless of eligibility. Starting with the Fall 2006 semester, services for these positions will be available through the Career Center.
