The Part-time Job Program is a grant funded program that assists students in finding off-campus employment.
The program was created in 2003 for EKU and it allows students to connect with the community and the community to connect with Eastern.
From the Student's Perspective
Students use JobLink, EKU's job posting board, to locate positions that interest them.
Students retrieve a referral card from Career Services for any positions in which they are interested.
If the student is granted an interview for that position, they should bring the referral card with them and give it to the interviewer.
If the student gains employment with your company, please send the referral card back to Career Services with the information needed completed.
From the Employer's Perspective
Employers may use the Part-time Job Program to list any part-time, temporary, or seasonal positions they have open. Simply contact the Job Development Coordinator at 859-622-8649 to list positions. General information for a posting includes:
