Work-study
projects
needed

 

Each year, Douglas College is
allocated a work-study budget from the
Ministry of Education, Skills and
Training. This program provides part-time
employment (five—15 hours per week) to
full-time students. Students may be
employed at Douglas College or off-
campus with a non-profit organization.

Students must qualify on the basis of
financial need. Eligibility is determined
by the Student Finance and Placement
Office, after the assessment of each
student’s Canada Student Loan/BC
Student Loan and the information
provided on the Work-Study application
form.

Student Placement is currently looking
for project submissions from interested
College personnel. They are looking for
one-time (non-repeating) projects that will
operate in addition to the ongoing
activities of the department. The project
should also provide students with
opportunities to develop career-related
skills.

Work-Study application forms are
available at the Student Placement Office,
Room 2710. The deadline to submit
Project Applications for the Fall 1997
semester is Friday June 13, 1997.
Project applications received after June
13, 1997 may be considered for the
Winter 1998 semester (beginning January
1998).
