Work study is an opportunity for students to work part-time on campus in jobs that accommodate their studies. CEES is responsible for administering this program with the following objectives:

• Assist students with a source of income.
• Offer students training and experience that will assist them in further studies and their eventual entrance into the workforce.
• Assist employees.
• Departments may request more than one position, but approvals will be allocated once approved by the PPWC Student Work Committee and available funding.

The Work Study program adheres to the Terms of Reference based on the PPWC Collective Agreement. As such, the following conditions apply:

• Students can work on any campus or remotely.
