The Job Location Development (JLD) Program

The UCS Employer Engagement Team is happy to offer the Job Location Development (JLD) Program to employers and students. The JLD Program is designed to connect employers with students seeking meaningful, part-time work opportunities that build real-world skills. By partnering with the JLD Program, employers can recruit talented students while helping them develop valuable transferrable skills.

To enhance the experience for both employers and students, the JLD Program would offer part-time roles that are accessible to students signed up for the program. This allows us to track student participation, monitor skill development, and provide ongoing support to employers and students throughout the employment period.

What's In It For Me?

UCS is offering a never-seen-before exclusive benefits package to employers participating in the JLD Program. By joining this program, you will receive:

• Early registration, guaranteed admission, and a 50% discount for the annual Part-Time Job Fair.
• Early registration, guaranteed admission, and a 50% discount for one Industry Snack and Chat event of your choice.
• Exclusive access to post your part-time job openings on the Part-Time Jobs Listserv and JLD Program Canvas course, reaching students enrolled in the program.

Please note that to keep this benefits package active, you must renew it at the end of each academic year, along with your commitment to continue as a JLD employer.
