Warning! Job Scams
Always exercise caution when receiving emails about job opportunities, as many are fraudulent. Legitimate companies always identify themselves and have legitimate business email addresses and never ask for a fee to apply.
If the job opportunity seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you are unsure whether a job opportunity email you've received is legitimate, contact ahintern@uwo.ca.

Education Internships
**Winter 2026 Internship Opportunities Now Open!**
Are you curious about a career in teaching? An Education Internship offers the chance to step into the classroom, build your teaching and communication skills, and learn what it’s really like to be an educator. You’ll gain hands-on experience, make valuable professional connections, and strengthen your resume—all before teacher’s college!
The Arts and Humanities Internship Program (AHIP) has partnered with the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) and the London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB) to offer Teaching Assistant internships in the Greater London area.
These opportunities are open to upper-year Arts and Humanities students with a minimum cumulative average of 70% and no failures or academic offences.
Interns will work approximately 10 hours per week over 12 weeks of the term. While these internships are unpaid, eligible students may earn academic credit through AHIP. All participants will complete professional internship preparation, whether they choose to receive credit.
To learn more and apply for an internship, visit the Education Internships page on the AHIP website.

Western Work Study
Western’s Work Study program offers opportunities for students to work part-time on campus in jobs that accommodate their studies. The objectives of the Work Study program are to . . .
- assist students in financial need with a regular source of income
- offer students training and experience that will assist them in further studies and their eventual entrance into the workforce,
- and help staff and faculty.
Eligibility
To be eligible for Work Study, you must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident and demonstrate a genuine financial need. If you are applying in Fall/Winter, you must be registered on Main Campus and have a minimum 60% course load (40% course load for students with disabilities).
Work Study is generally not offered to first-year students, as their financial need is met through the Admission Bursary process, and Work Study assistance would decrease the amount of Admission Bursary assistance. For special circumstances for international or graduate students, please see below.
Note! Students registered at an affiliated college are not eligible for the Main Campus Work Study program during the Fall/Winter academic term. If you are attending an affiliate, please check with your college for information regarding available Work Study.
How to Apply
The Bursary, Work Study, and Need-Based Awards programs are based on financial need and applied for via the Financial Assistance Profile Application. The application is available for the fall and winter terms through the Student Center at the end of August.
