Relocating to NNY

We hire both full-time and part-time personnel; positions are advertised when available. The instructional calendar includes fall, winter, spring and summer sessions. Although most classes are held on campus, we also teach classes on nearby Fort Drum and at other locations and online. We also have year-round positions for administrative staff, student support services personnel, and staff in the areas of secretarial, accounting, maintenance and finance.

Conveniently Located

Jefferson Community College is located in Watertown, near the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. One of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York (SUNY) system, Jefferson serves students pursuing credit courses in liberal arts, business, math, science, allied health and technology for transfer or career purposes. We also offer a multitude of workshops for professional training, personal development and youth.

Affordable Living

The region’s cost of living is well below the national average. A wide range of housing options are available in urban, suburban and small-town settings. The local housing market is as diverse as it is affordable.

Weather: A Four-Season Region

  • Summer – On average at least three days at or above 90 during the summer months and 42 days at or above 80 from June through August. It’s a season in which many can get overwhelmed with the amount of things to experience.
  • Fall – Temperatures begin in the 70s and steadily cool into the 50s. Colorful peak foliage will spread throughout the area and all of New York October through November.
  • Winter – Average temperatures around 30 with snowfall averaging 80 inches annually. There are lots of winter activities and festivals to engage in.
  • Spring – Temperatures warm into the 60s with moderate rain fall. Spring events are in full bloom in the North Country and all across New York.

Things to Do in the Region

Perhaps it starts with an inspiring sunrise on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence Seaway or ends with a breathtaking sunset from the U.S. Maybe it includes views of storybook castles, a good fish story, a taste of craft beverages or a trip back in time. On the pristine waters or in quiet villages, there are thousands of things to see and do. Check out this website for ideas: https://visit1000islands.com/
