Overview
Details

Welcome to the Master of Marketing Placement Program with Schulich School of Business. Our Masters students are eager to apply their classroom learning to real-world projects, gaining practical knowledge while providing valuable insights to your organization. Through this collaboration, students aim to enhance their skills in marketing, sales, and research, while contributing meaningfully to your company's success. As an employer, your role is crucial in guiding and supporting our learners throughout the project, ensuring a successful and enriching experience for both parties.


Work placements are minimum 12 weeks during the summer semester (May to August). Students can work part-time or full-time, depending on the needs of the project.


At this moment we are seeking only paid placement opportunities. If a placement is paid (min hourly rate in Ontario, $16.5/hr) and 4-months long, we can provide you with an Ontario tax credit letter.


All interested employers can send a request to match, along with a job description for posting  on our internal job board. After 7 to 10 days, we will send you the applications (cover letter and resume) of interested students. The selected student will receive an offer for the Work Placement.

Deliverables

Deliverables will be aligned with the job description requirements.
