Employers will need to create their Work Study position(s) in Workday. Employers will have to create a Job Requisition in Workday, linked to pre-established Job Catalogs. This link will determine the rate of pay and whether the job is eligible for Work Study subsidy consideration. The Job Posting can be initiated in Workday or used to copy for posting anywhere, including myFuture.
A pre-defined set of casual positions within Âé¶čAVâs Job Catalog are declared as Work Study-eligible:
- Any job from the Admin & Support Catalog that falls within AMUSE
- Only Graduate and Undergraduate research assistants from the Student Job Catalog
Work Study job opportunities are posted in , the platform managed by Career & Planning Services (CAPS), and where all student opportunities exist in one place. Work Study jobs will be specially flagged so Work Study-eligible students can identify the priority bank of jobs dedicated to them. Employers control postings going up and down so they remain current.
