Experience Works

Experience Works is a program that offers funding to full-time faculty and staff at Brock to help fund their on-campus student positions.

Experience Works aims to help faculty and staff to provide you with meaningful work experiences that will help you to develop valuable and varied employability skills and help you to develop a strong resume prior to graduation. You must be eligible for the program in order to be hired for a position funded through Experience Works.

Eligibility
To be eligible for a position funded through Experience Works, you must be approved for Experience Works in the session in which the position will be held.

Am I Eligible?
Complete a Student Financial Profile for the appropriate session and Student Awards and Financial Aid will determine your eligibility based on the information you provide. For more information about the criteria for eligibility, please see the FAQ.

You will receive an e-mail regarding the decision made on your profile. If approved, print out the approval email as proof of your eligibility.

You should provide a copy of this email with your resume or bring it to the interview for all Experience Works positions.

You must complete a new profile for each session every year. Approval in a previous session does not guarantee approval in the next.
