February 5th Summer Jobs Workshop and Information Session (UofA)

When: 5pm, February 5th 2013.  Where: Tory Building room B 38.  

We will start with the information session (about 30 minutes), which will highlight opportunities for summer employment with the Not for Profit sector, emphasizing
FACTSnet Summer Jobs 2013 .
  • To apply for a summer job you need to be a full time student (ages 15-30) who is going back to school next fall, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant. see above link for more details.  



    • We work flexible hours (you can for the most part work your own hours).
    • For students, who do well, we offer bonuses and advertise future consulting opportunities for them.
    • We also offer 20% of your time to work on approved projects initiated by you that relate to your job.  For example, you could work on a project for your campus club.
The Information Session will be followed by a workshop to write job descriptions to apply for Canada Summer Jobs funding.



  1. These descriptions will be tailored to individual interests, wherever possible.



  2. The opportunities are varied.  Scroll down the FACTSnet Index to see blogs that have been worked on by previous summer students.  If you are aboriginal, from a visible minority or have a disability; you have better chance of getting a job.




  3. In preparation for the workshop, email your resume and statement of interest to factsc@gmail.com    



  4. Follow links on the FACTSnet Summer Jobs 2013 post to get more information and  ideas for your statement of interest.
