Internship

Internship

In their final semester, students choose their own internship placement with an agency, either from a list of placements available, or they negotiate their own.

Internship is a valuable exercise that allows students to put theoretical knowledge and classroom learning into practical experience. The placements are 14 weeks in length, and take place in a variety of agencies and settings.

Examples of organizations who have hosted interns in the past include:

  • Provincial Sports Organizations (Sport BC, Pacific Sport)
  • Municipal Recreation (Surrey Sport & Leisure, Trout Lake Community Centre)
  • Entrepreneurial Businesses (LifeWorks, RecGroup.ca)
  • Not-for-Profit Organizations (Heart & Stroke Foundation, BC Disability Sports)
  • Rehabilitation Centres (GF Strong, Sunny Hill Centre)
  • Private Clubs (Arbutus Club, Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club)
  • Public / Private Partnership Organizations (Planet Ice, Canlan Ice Sports)
  • School Districts (Bayview Community School, Windermere Secondary)
  • Language Schools (Bodwell College)
  • Neighbourhood Houses (Augustine House, South Vancouver Neighbourhood House)
