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

  • Workshops: 11 workshops have been delivered and recorded between January and November 2024. You can watch recordings at your own pace from the moment you join the program. These workshops are essential to prepare you for your professional life as well as for the events taking place in the Fall.  
  • Bootcamps: you 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 you the opportunity to further practice your pitches, hear from employers and network.
