Hire a Student Intern

 

Western Continuing Studies is proud to partner with organizations in our local community and worldwide for the practicum component of our Post-Degree Diploma programs. In addition to completing specialized coursework that builds their skills and expertise in a chosen field, our students are required to complete a mandatory practicum for academic credit. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their knowledge in real-world workplace settings, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

 

Benefits of hosting an intern

  1. Engage high-level students who are eager to contribute their skills, ideas, and energy
  2. Develop your own supervisory and mentoring skills
  3. Raise your organization's profile among the student population
