All Work-Study, campus employment and part-time jobs are now available on Workday’s Student Jobs Site for on-campus employment, and 12twenty@Texas for off-campus employment. These platforms connect The University of Texas at Austin students and alumni with employers offering career opportunities, internships, and campus jobs.

For Employers

Work-Study is a government-subsidized student employment program designed to assist students in financing their post-secondary education. These types of jobs are different from other types of part-time jobs because employers must be approved ahead of time. Work-Study may be particularly appealing to you because you only have to pay 30% of the student’s wages — the remaining 70% is paid by the Work-Study program. Work-Study programs at The University of Texas at Austin include Federal Work-Study, State Work-Study and Institutional Work-Study.

Interested in employing a Work-Study student? Be sure to mark that preference when posting a job in Workday. All Work-Study jobs must be compliant with federal and state laws and University policies. Employers must confirm eligibility by asking the student to provide the Work-Study Offer, which is available in the student’s My Financial Aid portal.
