The Job Location and Development (JLD) Program is a federally funded program designed to assist students with part time employment and is administered by the Student Employment Services.
The goal is to provide LMU students with a source to secure off-campus employment regardless of their financial aid eligibility. The JLD program is centered on creating real-world work experiences for students to increase self-knowledge and develop marketable skills.
