LIBRARY and INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Practicum
At the end of your second year, you'll work a one-month practicum in a library, information centre or other information management setting. The placement helps to solidify classroom learning and to make contacts in the industry.
Your work experience lasts four weeks, and will ensure you're ready for success in your field.
International students must have a co-op work permit before starting field placement, clinical practice or practicum. A co-op work permit is different from your study permit; it is an additional permit that authorizes international students to participate in work that is integral to their program of study. If you will be working with vulnerable populations in a health, community or medical field, you will need an up-to-date medical exam by an IRCC-approved panel physician before applying for a co-op work permit.
Ask MacEwan International about the documents you need to have to apply. You should apply for a co-op work permit 4-6 months before the start of your field placement, clinical practice or practicum as current IRCC processing times are lengthy.
