HR Student Employment

HR Student Employment’s job is to help STUDENTS find jobs while attending the University of Kentucky and to help EMPLOYERS by advertising positions and screening students to be referred for consideration.

Online job posting lists flexible student jobs in a variety of fields off- & on-campus. These postings begin with the requisition prefix "js".
Screening interviews match students with jobs that fit individual skills, schedules, and interests.
Referrals put students in contact with employers who will know you meet their requirements.
