We have Placement Advisors who work with students in order to help them secure a placement and support them in their career-preparation journey. Students also take a placement and career preparation course to finesse their job-hunting, networking, interviewing, and cover letter and resume writing skills. Additionally, the Placement Advisors obtain a select number of placements, but keep in mind that these are competitive within the program. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged, with the support of our Placement Advisors and other Humber College resources, to seek and secure their own placements.
Depending on the research sector, and the level, duties, and responsibilities of the positions, many of the placements are paid. Bear in mind that others will be unpaid, so students should budget for the third semester accordingly. Please contact our Placement Advisor for more information:
