Work On campus
Check out with CareerLink to view work-study positions available on campus. Work-study positions for the Fall term are posted as early as August 15. Positions that are available for the Winter term are posted in early December.
Jobs are available year-round in a variety of areas. Each work-study position provides for 120 hours of work per semester. The number of hours you work a week may vary depending on the position, but cannot exceed 40 hours. The pay is $10.25 per hour.
Work off Campus
If your study permit allows, you may work a maximum of 20 hours per week during the regular academic year (September to April) and full-time during scheduled breaks (Summer, Winter and reading breaks).
You can find work opportunities advertised on online job boards, in local newspapers, or directly on local companies’ websites.
Find a job placement as part as the Co-op program
Once accepted in the Co-op program as described in Step 2, you will have the opportunity to attend a day-long pre-employment workshop at the Career Centre to learn how to find a job placement.
The Career Centre works with employers to find suitable work placements for Co-op students. These work opportunities are not listed outside the program and are reserved for Co-op students. You can apply for these opportunities through CareerLink.
If you are interested in a job that is not listed on the Co-op job board, talk to the Career Centre. They can approach an employer on your behalf to explore the possibility of setting up a work placement.
