After May 1, it is more difficult to get the go-ahead from partners in time for the start of Shad Valley. We may have information that's helpful. Competition for partnered places is high, with several deserving candidates vying for each place. Each partner is sent a number of applications within their region, and according to their preferences. Partners are responsible for arranging interviews, and will contact students either at home or at school.
Most partners are unable to meet with every candidate on their list.
As in any job placement, they will interview those candidates whose skills, backgrounds and interests match their job requirements. Because there is vigorous competition for partnered places, we advise you to do research to prepare for an interview. At an interview, you should answer questions directly, precisely and with specific details. Be prepared to ask questions also, particularly about the work term. Be empathetic to the interviewers.
