Work terms are 4, 8, or 12 months in duration and can be in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), across Canada, or international. There are specific work term eligibility requirements for each program, such as a minimum number of courses, and successful completion of required courses, however you can take these job search courses while you are completing these requirements. All students must be in good standing in the program to job search – this means 2.5 cGPA or higher.
