This digital application gives Social Sciences undergraduate course instructors an easy way to apply for the Career Speaker Fund.
Thank you for preparing a submission to the Social Sciences Career Speaker Fund for undergraduate courses.
We are now accepting applications for funds for the 2024-2025 academic year (i.e. courses running in May 2024-April 2025). Due to a surge of instructors taking initiative with great projects, resources are no longer available for the 2023-2024 academic year.
About this Fund:
The goal of this funding is to help cover the costs of inviting, thanking, or paying guest speakers brought in to help meet the following strategic goal:
- to provide students with more opportunities to explore career options (outside of academia)
This has been identified as a high-priority goal by undergraduate students across the Faculty of Social Sciences.
This fund may be used in-course by instructors of social sciences undergraduate courses or by departmental leaders in an extra-curricular context. Successful Career Speaker Fund applications will clearly address at least one of the following eligibility categories:
- Career option exploration
- Career readiness
- Transferrable skill development
Payments, honoraria, and/or other expenditures associated with this fund will follow the Careers & Experiential Guide to Payments developed in partnership with the Social Sciences Finance team.
