Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)
Work-integrated learning (WIL) placements are part of many ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ programs and are often called practicum, clinical placement, apprenticeship, or work experience.
Hosting a WIL student allows you to bring trained talent into your workplace and test their skills prior to hiring. It also provides your current employees with supervisory and/or mentorship growth opportunities.
Your first step is to identify the program you want to work with. Review our ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ WIL programs to select the area most closely aligned with your industry, organization or staffing needs.
The majority of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ WIL placements are between 2-4 weeks. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has several WIL placements where students are paid, but the majority are unpaid. For any questions related to hosting a work-integrated learning placement, please reach out to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ CareerLAB at careerLAB@vcc.ca or connect with the specific ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ program that trains students in your industry or in the skills you need in your organization.
