The OUR Works! Experience
University of West Florida Libraries
Student Scholar Symposium & Faculty Research Showcase (University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida, 04/20/2023)
04/20/2023
Abstract
There are several Federal Work study positions available at the University of West Florida; one position in particular is the OUR WORKS! Program Research Assistant. As an assistant in this program you are given the opportunity to test your research skills and have fun while doing it; and for those who want to work in the field of social services this job can provide much of the experience a student will need to start applying for jobs when they graduate. The problem however is that too many are unaware of the advantages posed by such a program and in order to share that knowledge this presentation will discuss in depth the steps of joining OUR WORKS, the daily life of a student in a research position, the hours worked, etc. A position like this is not always favored due to the deemed "tedious" work of research, and an understanding of the comings and goings in the daily life a researcher could have a major impact on the thoughts and actions of those who might wish to participate in the program..
