Work Study

Across the University of Toronto, over 3,500 students participate in the Work Study Program every year! Twice a year (fall-winter and summer), the Work Study Program offers paid, on-campus positions that provide you with an opportunity to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your skills and explore how your academic studies translate to career possibilities. All Work Study positions are CCR recognized (see the CCR website to learn more).

To help you make the most of your Work Study position, we have developed three e-modules. For each e-module you can save a PDF of your responses; we encourage you to review your responses with your Work Study supervisor.

Complete at the start of Work Study:

1.     Understanding Your Strengths, Values and Interests

2.     Developing a Personal Learning Plan for Competency Development

Complete at the end of Work Study:

3.     Reflecting on Your Competency and Career Development
