Work Study

These Work Study modules were developed by the Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education and Career Exploration & Education.   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 students make the most of their Work Study position, we have developed three e-modules. For each e-module students can save a PDF of their responses; we encourage students to review their responses with their Work Study supervisor.
