U of T Work Study Program

Work Study program


The Work Study program at U of T provides students with paid, on-campus learning opportunities to deepen knowledge, strengthen skills, and explore how academic studies translate to career possibilities.  

Work Study roles are offered twice a year (summer and fall/winter), across all three campuses. In these work-learn periods, students engage in experiential learning under the direction of a staff member, faculty member, or librarian. All Work Study positions are Co-Curricular Record (CCR) recognized.  

Opportunities vary across units and roles and support students to:

  • Develop and articulate workplace skills and competencies.
  • Build workplace experience, networks and self-knowledge, such as navigating workplace expectations, culture, identities, and values.
  • Explore how academic studies connect to workplace competencies.
  • Reflect on how the Work Study experience translates to career possibilities.
