The University Canada West Graduate Practicum Program (GPP) connects you with MBA students to hire (paid, unpaid, or stipend based) for 12-20 hours per week in conjunction with their 12 week MBA Graduate Practicum exit course (WROK-601). We are placing 36 students across 6-8 roles for the April-July term.
Throughout the Work Integrated Learning experience, students spend most of their course hours working directly within your company, and additional time in the classroom honing their skills in Communication, Understanding Your Enterprise, Comparative & Industry Analysis, and Canadian Workplace Etiquette based on their experience with you.
GPP is administered through University Canada West's Career Development Centre via email. To express interest and receive next steps, please submit this form and we will contact you about how to connect with our students. https://forms.office.com/r/r5EK2Syh4q
