Ignite gives second chance to submit work-study job proposals

Career Development & Experiential Learning (CDEL) is now accepting proposals for additional jobs to be funded by the Ignite Work Study program in Winter 2021.

Ignite is a co-curricular experiential learning program that funds part-time jobs at the University of Windsor. If approved for Ignite funding for the winter term, supervisors can be reimbursed for a wage subsidy up to $1,000 per position to hire an eligible student. The program is open to all UWindsor students — some restrictions apply; view the Ignite website for details.

“We don’t typically accept new Ignite proposals after the summer deadline but we wanted to provide supervisors with another opportunity to address their student staffing needs once more was known about how the programs, services, and research that Ignite students support would be delivered in Winter 2021,” says Kerri Zold, manager of Career Development & Experiential Learning.

Proposals are being accepted through Qualtrics until noon on Nov. 23. Applicants whose positions receive funding will be notified by Dec. 11, and students can begin working as early as Jan, 4, 2021.

Questions can be directed to Samantha DesRosiers at ignite@uwindsor.ca.
