What is CalWORKs work-study?
CalWORKs Work-Study Program provides CalWORKs students with on and off-campus work opportunities to develop and/or strengthen workplace skills while completing their educational goals. Students learn how to enter and re-enter the workforce with the confidence needed to achieve career satisfaction and economic self-sufficiency. Work-Study is a time-limited program that allows students to earn money that will not be deducted from their cash aid grant (income-exempt).
