The Workplace Integrated Learning Project (WILP) Project is the major integrative learning activity of MSMG5000Y which provides students with the ability to earn credits. The course integrates learned management academic theory with a practical learning experience by connecting students with an applied, community-engaged project. This component will engage students for 80 hours and the other 80 hours will culminate with a student generated report and professional presentation.Through Advance Ontario, the WILP Project will provide eligible students internship opportunities to help develop real-world, in demand skills. Internships are hosted remotely with Ontario employers, specifically from the Durham region, who are eager to mentor the next generation of talent. Powered by Riipen, the world's leading online work-based learning marketplace, students are paid to complete projects each spanning 80 hours over 2-8 weeks. STUDENTS MUST BE INVITED TO JOIN ADVANCE ONTARIO.
