Hafsa’s Siddiqui enrolled in Humber’s Professional Writing and Communications graduate certificate degree because she wanted to change career paths. She was interested in the program because of its work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. In her final semester, Hafsa completed a work placement with Mental Health Commission Canada (MHRC). Her hard work paid off, and she received a full-time position with MHRC.
Work-integrated learning gives students the opportunity to apply in-demand skills and knowledge to real-world work and projects.
We prepare Humber students for these hands-on experiences from day one because we know how important they are for our students’ career goals and for our industry and community partners’ talent development.
With guidance and mentorship, our industry and community partners help shape up-and-coming talent, ensuring the future is bright for employers and employees alike.
The best time to start building career experience is before you graduate. A student work placement or internship gives you real-world experience that will help you stand out from the crowd when you’re looking for your first full-time job in your chosen field. There are lots of ways to build WIL into your education — check out our student success stories and resources to get you started on the path to gaining valuable work experience.
