Part-Time Employment

Student Employment, also known as Job Location & Development (JLD) is a federally funded service. The mission of JLD is to assist eligible students in locating employment and to promote self-help in educational financing, as well as to encourage a sense of personal achievement and the development of positive values.

Student Employment (JLD) relies on local business and industry to recruit students, providing students with an income source which will help them complete their college education. JLD offers a resource pool to the Knoxville area and surrounding communities for part-time and temporary employment.
