Once submitted, proposals will be reviewed by the Career Centre and assigned a job order number, which will be e-mailed to you. Enrolment Services then will review all proposals, determine which proposals are approved for the summer program and send an e-mail to successful employers prior to listing the Work Study positions on the Career Centre website. Enrolment Services will contact potential employers if there are questions about a proposal.
Funding is limited for this program and therefore not all Work Study proposals will be approved.
Salary and Payment Information
The rate of pay is $10.25 per hour plus 4% vacation pay. The employer will be expected to contribute 20% of salary costs. The remaining 80% will be funded centrally.
