Students apply for the Internship Program in their third or fourth year of study, and as a result, complete their degree in five years instead of the usual four. This provides the opportunity for a 12 or 16 month, full-time competitively paid work placement. Work terms begin in May or September. Progress on the job is monitored and evaluated by both a Faculty mentor and workplace supervisor. Relevant work experience improves your chances of finding full-time employment when you graduate.
Many internships lead to permanent positions.
As an intern, you see the practical application of principles learned in class and will be able to bring valuable experience back into the classroom. Preference is given to students with a GPA of 6.0 or greater. Application forms are available from the Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry, and Home Economics Student Services Office. You must apply by the 5th business day in October. The IP Coordinator will interview you in October for program acceptance.
