Pathway to Stay in Nova Scotia

Preparing international students for Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and employment

In partnership with Business + Higher Education Roundtable, and with the support from the Government of Canada, Nova Scotia Community College and Dalhousie University are delivering a program focused on Work Integrated Learning (WIL). 

Pathway to Stay Program for NSCC and Dalhousie Students is a free, non-credit program open to all NSCC and Dalhousie international students. 

The project involves 3 interconnected work-integrated learning (WIL) components whose content is developed by En Point. 

  • Workshops: 9 workshops have been delivered and recorded between January and May 2024. Students can watch recordings at their own pace from the moment they join the program. These workshops are essential to prepare students for their professional lives as well as for the events taking place in the Fall.  
  • Bootcamps: students will be able to attend two mini-bootcamps, essentials to learn how to work on presentation skills, branding and networking. 
  • International Students Showcases: showcases are in-person events that will give students the opportunity to further practice their pitches, hear from employers and network. 

Student who accumulate at least 10 hours of attendance in the program will receive a certificate. *Workshops (modules) are 1 hour long. They include activities to help students with their learning, this is why they provide students with 2 hours of attendance.
