Student Employment/Work Study Jobs

If you're interested in student employment at TJC, you must identify and apply for an open position for the semester you would like to work.  

Human Resources does not assist in finding employment; students must search our online listings or inquire with departments across campus to secure a position. A list of departments that typically hire students is provided below in the "Student Employment Process" section.

"Being a student assistant/work-study student can be a rewarding experience. You'll work on campus, preferably in the area of your major. You'll be working with quality people and learning a 'hands-on' education as well. It's great for references, friendships, and maturity. Plus, you get paid for it!" - A quote from a TJC Work-Study student.

What's in it for me?

  • 18 hours of work a week
  • Flexible work hours
  • Excellent references
  • Career experience

What is the difference between a Student Assistant job and a Work-Study job?

Any student may be hired as a Student Assistant provided they meet the basic qualifications. Some Student Assistants may qualify for Work Study. The primary difference involves the funding source for the position.

How do I apply?

Who is Eligible to be a Work-Study student?

Work Study provides jobs to students who demonstrate the greatest financial need. A student must maintain at least six (6) credit hours and meet satisfactory academic progress standards. This program is only offered to students attending the regular fall/spring terms. The state work-study allocation of funds can only be awarded to Texas residents.
