What is the Graduate Catalyst Program?

The Graduate Catalyst Program is an initiative led by GSA aimed at offering mentorship, leadership, and development opportunities for graduate students. This program provides participants with practical work experience that facilitates their transition to the professional environment, while also supporting the organizational goals of the GSA. Successful participants will be compensated as casual staff members. 

The program provides casual work opportunities at various times during the year depending on GSA activities and its resourcing needs. If you are successful in the application process, you will be eligible to receive work offers from time to time which you can then choose to accept. Those work offers depend on GSA’s needs and the various activities it runs. There is no minimum or maximum number of hours of work available to a casual employee and there is no guarantee of ongoing or consistent work.
