These 5-week work terms will start April 22nd and end May 24th. There will be safety training and student orientation scheduled for the first 2-3 days. Paperwork required by the school will also be completed at that time. The Apprenticeship and Operational Development Supervisor will then email the signed student contracts to the appropriate Instructors.   

We must obtain Enhanced Reliability Security Clearance for everyone prior to the start of the work terms. Students selected for work terms will be contacted a few days following our application deadline and asked to complete the security screening paperwork.

If we receive more applications than we have positions available, candidates will be selected via a random draw.  

Unfortunately, security clearances for non-residents and students that have not resided in Canada for five years can take over a year to process. For this reason, we cannot accept applications from these students.

Students must be in the final year of their programs to qualify for these work terms.

 ***NSCC Students Please Note: All work placements must be pre-approved by your faculty and workexperience@nscc.ca in order to receive credit towards your NSCC Credential. Please check in with your faculty before accepting any job offer***
