On-Campus Student Employment

• Develop the 8 career readiness competencies employers look for, including critical thinking, professionalism, and leadership.
• Work close to your class locations with flexible hours.
• Studies show that students who work on campus 20 hours or less each week actually do better academically than those students who work off campus, or do not work at all.
• Make lasting connections with Kent State University staff.

The completed forms are processed within 1-2 business days.
