The Professional Writing and Communications (PWC) graduate certificate students are available for work in full-time writing and communications roles this spring and summer, from May to mid-August, for their work placement. PWC students work in various fields such as grant/proposal writers, social media managers, communications specialists, editors and more!  

Third-semester PWC students are able to create documents suitable for a diversity of audiences and purposes using advanced linguistic and rhetorical skills and are prepared to produce work individually or in collaboration.   

The work-integrated learning experience should allow students to: 

• demonstrate proficiency in adhering to professional writing best practices;
• collaborate with others in a professional setting;
• show responsiveness to business and organizational procedures and protocols;
• apply core communications strategies and skills;
• and show time-management skills by completing assigned tasks in a timely and professional manner.

FY2023/2024 standing orders are now closed and should not be referenced on invoices for purchases made in FY2024/2025. We ask that individuals work with our vendor community to let vendors know to reference the new standing order PO number for invoices going forward.

It is important for vendors to update their PO reference as invoices cannot be paid unless a current, valid PO number is provided, according to Humber’s No PO, No Pay policy.

Questions can be directed to purchasing@humber.ca.
