Part-Time Jobs Around Lakeland University

Lakeland students combine on-campus employment, co-op wages and—where visa rules allow—local retail or hospitality jobs in Plymouth, Sheboygan and Kohler corridor towns.

International students must confirm F-1 employment rules with the Designated School Official before starting any off-campus work.

Common Part-Time Job Options

Job type	Where students may find it	Why it can help
Dining, library, athletics	Lakeland departments	Walkable shifts between classes
Retail and tourism	Sheboygan, Kohler, Elkhart Lake	Summer and weekend hours
Manufacturing support	Local plants	Technical exposure for engineering majors
Tutoring	Academic Success Center	Reinforces STEM or business skills
Remote internships	CPT-approved employers	Builds portfolio without daily commute

Where To Search

Students can search through:

• Handshake
• Co-op office employer lists
• Indeed “part-time near Plymouth WI”
• Faculty emails for lab assistant openings

A car expands options toward Milwaukee, but many students stay local for balance.

Practical Advice For International Students

Before applying for part-time jobs, students should:

• Attend international student employment orientation
• Secure CPT for any internship tied to the major
• Keep I-20 travel signatures current if co-op requires relocation

Best Approach For September 2026 Students

Students arriving for the September 2026 intake should prioritise on-campus jobs first term, then layer co-op once paperwork is clear—mixing unauthorised work risks visa termination.
