Subject: [BCMA] How to apply for and pay a summer student

Hi everyone.

The “Victoria Scout and Guide Museum” a small, all volunteer, non profit museum is considering hiring a student next summer for 2 to 3 months to do data entry, likely on a Catalogit platform.

Therefore we are seeking input from museums that have experience with this. Our questions are as follows.

1) what is the normal rate of pay for a student?

2) where are the best places to advertise for such a student? So far I have only contacted the University of Victoria.

3) where are the best places to seek grants to help us offset the costs? Canada Works? Etc.???
Also, what is the usual deadline to apply for such grants, December???

4) Finally, are other issues that I should be aware of?

Any and all comments and suggestions are most appreciative.

Sincerely
Ron Bilinsky
