Abstract: Education is one of the necessary conditions for employment. Often, getting an education requires significant expenses, so not everyone can afford to pay for college. Universities implement support programs for students to give them wider opportunities for obtaining an education. In addition, although students are classified as a non-working population, they sometimes engage in activities for which they receive wages, so they can be considered part-time workers. Previous research suggests that tuition assistance may reduce students' incentives to work and increase their consumer spending, making part-time job a secondary priority for economic reasons. This study aims to analyze the opportunities for part-time jobs for students who receive tuition assistance with the variables used, namely the tuition assistance scheme, gender, consumption expenditure, employment status, and employment sector. Sriwijaya University is the oldest university in South Sumatra, with students receiving tuition assistance in 2022 amounted to 4569 students. The sample used in this research is 100 students who receive tuition assistance. The data used for the analysis are primary data collected by the questionnaire method. The analysis technique used in this study uses a binary logistic regression model using the SPSS 22 analysis tool. The results showed that the variables of assistance schemes, consumption expenditures, and jobs in the service sector had a significant effect on students' part-time job decisions. The type of work in the service sector is the dominant factor for students working part-time. The results of this study can be used in developing government policies for part-time workers and students regarding time management.
