Work Placement
Following two academic semesters, students complete a three-month (450 hours) paid or unpaid work placement in which students apply and integrate theoretical knowledge and skills into real-world work settings. Students complement their learning in their placement, and assessments are carried out by assigned supervisors at the placement site.
Students are responsible for finding their own work placement that is aligned with the learning outcomes of the program. Humber will assist students in finding their placements by working with industry partners and identifying openings. Students are encouraged to find a placement in their area of interest, such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, natural health and food products, cosmetics, or cannabis.
