A big part of most students’ post-secondary experience is not limited to the bounds of lecture rooms. For many, acquiring hands-on job experience is not only needed to further career prospects but also for economic independence. For that reason, students need to know the available opportunities that exist on campus to gain valuable job experience while contributing to the community at large at Brock. 

Until March 3rd, applications will be open for student jobs at BUSU, with positions offered on a full-time and part-time basis. The following are the current openings for full-time and part-time employment at BUSU, the application requirements and the fields of employment that they are relevant to.

In particular, these student job terms begin in August 2024 and end in March, 2025.
