Students who select the work term stream will have the opportunity to participate in a work term(s) if eligibility requirements are maintained. Students will have the flexibility to transfer to the non-work term stream at any time.

However, students will receive guidance and support through in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching to help prepare for the work term.
