Student Employment Program

Your experience as a student working with NSERC will allow you to:

• develop your skills;
• explore future employment opportunities;
• earn a competitive salary; and
• work within your academic schedule.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the Student Employment Program, you must:

• be enrolled as a full-time secondary or post-secondary student in a recognized institution and currently be recognized as having “full-time student status” by that academic institution;
• be returning to full-time studies for your next academic term; and
• meet the minimum age requirement to work in the province or territory where the job exists.

Students in their final year of academic study and not returning to full-time studies are only eligible to work part-time until the completion of their final full-time academic term.

Timeframe

The program renews each year at the beginning of January. Eligible students must re-apply to the program on an annual basis.
