What Wentworth Says About Student Work

Wentworth holds an annual student employment job fair in September and uses Workday to post positions. Students cannot begin working until on or after the first day of fall semester classes.

The university says student employment pays biweekly and cannot be used to pay tuition directly. Massachusetts minimum wage applies to student jobs.

International students have extra rules. F-1 students may work on campus, but Wentworth notes that international students are only eligible for Leopard Work jobs and must obtain a Letter of Clearance before starting a job.

Around The Boston Campus

In practice, a Boston location like Wentworth's usually expands part-time options beyond campus itself. Students can look at nearby food service, retail, events and office support roles, though schedules need to work around class and co-op commitments.

Because the university is career-focused, many students try to choose jobs that support their major, communication skills or professional network rather than taking the first flexible shift they find.

Best Fit For September 2026

For students arriving in the September 2026 intake, the best strategy is to treat part-time work as a support system, not a distraction. The strongest options are the ones that fit around classes, co-op preparation and your long-term career plan.

Wentworth is a good fit if you want part-time work that keeps you plugged into campus life and professional growth.
