Work-Study Program

Some examples of Work-Study positions:

• Research Assistant
• Assistant Technician
• Office Assistant

As a Work-Study student, you are an important part of the University community. Not only are you a student, but you are also now an employee! The supervisors that hire Work-Study students rely on you to complete your assigned duties so that the services and research being done here is fulfilled. Remember to always keep your supervisor informed of your availability.

Application closed for 2022-23 as of December 5, 2022.
Application for 2023-24 will open in September 2023.

Once we have determined your eligibility for the program we will send you an email link to the list of the employment positions available you can apply for. The first position listing will be sent to eligible applicants between late September to mid-October. More positions will be available to those that apply early.

Students must submit the Work-Study Student Application form and be approved before applying for Work-Study jobs. We encourage all students interested in applying for campus jobs to submit an application. We look forward to working with you!

You may be eligible for the Work-Study Program if you meet all of the following criteria:

• Currently registered in an undergraduate or graduate program at The University of Winnipeg;
• Enrolled full-time (ex. 18 credit hours or more);
• Completed 24 credit hours at an undergraduate level at The University of Winnipeg (or equivalent);
• Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0;
• Demonstrate financial need (shortage between your expenses and resources); and
• Canadian citizen, permanent resident, protected person or an international student with a valid study permit.

Note: Students may only hold one Work-Study position at any given time.

Hourly rates can differ with the nature of the job, your work history and the responsibilities of the job. The rate of pay will be indicated on the job posting. The minimum wage in the Province of Manitoba as of October 2022 is $13.50 per hour so all positions will be at this rate or higher.

If you are a faculty or staff member and would like to request a Work-Study position for the 2022-23 Fall/Winter session, complete and submit a Work-Study Position Request Form.

Position Request Form Deadline: closed for 2022-23 as of August 31, 2022

Positions will be distributed as evenly as possible among departments, with priority given to proposals that are research-based or enhance the student experience.
