Student Services Lower Bavaria/Upper Palatinate launches free job exchange website STWNO brings students and employers together

Students in Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate now have a new, straightforward way to find suitable part-time jobs, internships or working student positions: Student Services Lower Bavaria/Upper Palatinate (STWNO) has launched a free job exchange. At www.stwno.de/jobbörse, students from all supported university locations can search for specific offers – from short-term temporary jobs to longer-term employment.

"In 2024, study financing advice accounted for 65 per cent of our consultations, by far the largest share. In many cases, so-called student jobs contribute to financing studies. With the new platform, we want to make it easier for students to access suitable jobs and at the same time offer them an easy way to contact employers," says Michael Dutz, Head of Student Life Counselling at the Student Services Organisation of Lower Bavaria/Upper Palatinate.

Advantages for students and employers

The new job exchange offers advantages for both sides: students can flexibly search for jobs that are compatible with their studies. Part-time jobs not only help to finance rent and living expenses. They also provide initial insights into the world of work, expand personal skills and strengthen independence and self-confidence.

Employers, from small craft businesses to private individuals, can quickly and free of charge advertise short-term jobs – such as gardening, moving assistance or driving services. Traditional job advertisements for internships, working student positions or part-time jobs can also be published easily.

How it works

For employers: Simply click on ‘Post a job offer’ at www.stwno.de/jobbörse, register, enter job details such as the period, working hours, hourly wage and contact details – and you're done. The STWNO Student Life Advisory Service will review the offer and approve it.

For students: Go to www.stwno.de/jobbörse, click on ‘Search for jobs’ to find suitable offers, filter by location and contact the providers directly.
