Accepting Winter 2022-2023 Work Learn Proposals until June 20
In developing your proposal to hire a Winter Work Learn Student for the period of September 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023, please follow closely the recommendations found in the WL Submission Guide. The more questions you answer, the better your chances are for obtaining funding. Of equal importance is adhering to the Winter 2022 Position Classification Guide, which outlines the general job descriptions and pay scale ranges. Work Learn positions are part-time hourly appointments and must fit within the rate and conditions outlined in the Position Classification Guide. There are two ways to submit a proposal:
- Complete the LFS online internal application form. You’ll receive a confirmation receipt soon after your submission. Mona Lee will then review your proposal and offer suggestions before she submits it to the Work Learn Office on your behalf. The internal deadline for proposals is 12:00 pm on Friday, June 10, 2022. Should you miss this deadline, please refer to Bullet #2 for instructions.
- Submit your proposal directly to the Work Learn Program via the UBC CareersOnline (employer) portal before the 11:59 pm external deadline on Monday, June 20, 2022. If you choose this option, you must create an account and list Mona Lee as the administrator in the submission form. This way, Mona is notified if your submission is approved for funding. Here is a Step-by-Step Guide on how to submit your proposal yourself. You will not receive a confirmation receipt upon submission. Note: Mona won’t be providing feedback and won’t be able to make any changes for you.
REMINDERS
- Subsidy Increase. The Work Learn subsidy is $9 per hour. Please review the Winter 2022 Position Classification Guide.
- Updated Submission Guide. Ensure your WL W22 proposal reflects the program guiding questions: a) job description, b) contribution to the university community and c) student learning components. Review the WL Submission Guide (includes the WL rubric used to evaluate proposals).
- View the Work Learn Submission Guide for writing your proposal and the step-by-step guide.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Multifactor Authentication While Travelling
If you are travelling outside of Canada, have backup plans for the 2-factor authentications of your online accounts. This includes UBC logins, social media and online banking sites. If you have the authentications set to call or send to your Canadian phone number, and swap phone SIMs, you will not receive the notifications.
For UBC, the passcode generator within the Duo mobile app is an excellent alternative to the Duo Push for those who are required to login with their Enhanced CWL while travelling as it uses no data from your phone to generate a passcode.
However, if having a phone is simply not an option for a particular travel destination or circumstance, hardware tokens are available on deposit for all employees. These can be obtained from the Access Desk at the back of the UBC bookstore for employees at the Vancouver campus.

If you swap phone SIMs while travelling, keep your personal information (cards, etc.) separate from where you keep your usual SIM. If both get stolen, it will be easier for someone to begin attempts to steal online accounts.
Know before you go, contact the Learning Centre at it@landfood.ubc.ca. |
