Each fall, the Career Centre at the University of Toronto offers numerous on-campus student positions through the Work-study program. These paid, part-time positions can offer much-needed job experience while also providing supplementary income to eligible students. (ok, so the pay isn't spectacular, but trust me, there is no shortage of jobs here!!)
Many of these positions -- research assistant, archive assistant, administrative support, et al -- are beneficial to library and archive students as they involve working one-on-one alongside professors and faculty members.
