Employment

Employment programs offer students the opportunity to apply for and be hired for part time employment and earn a paycheck every two weeks. All on-campus student employment opportunities are listed and hiring requests are processed through the Financial Aid Office. Students may obtain general conditions and terms applicable as well as a listing of available positions on the Financial Aid Office website at www.lesley.edu under "Student Jobs”. Instructions regarding employment opportunities and hiring procedures are e-mailed to main campus students in August (and in January for spring semester starts). Job postings for the academic year are released over the Labor Day weekend and are maintained throughout the academic year through the end of the spring semester.

Federal Work Study Program (FWSP): This need-based, federally subsidized work program provides part-time employment opportunities on campus or at nearby off-campus non-profit community service sites for eligible students. Eligibility is announced in a student’s financial aid award letter and instructions regarding employment application and hiring procedures are emailed to the student in August (and in January for spring semester starts). Eligible students are encouraged to choose jobs which meet their interests, relate to their course of study, and fit in with available free time. Earnings through FWSP are taxable income.

Lesley Works Program (LWP):  Students who have not applied for financial aid or who did not receive Federal Work Study consideration are still eligible to obtain on-campus employment at Lesley through the Lesley Works program. Earnings through the LWP are taxable income.

Students may also wish to contact the Career Resource Center on the fourth floor of Doble Hall on the Doble Campus or at 617-349-8550 where a listing of off-campus employment opportunities can be found.
