Work Experience

Optional Work Term

This program offers the option to complete a work term, providing valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. Students interested in completing a work term should apply to the PROGRAMNAME program.​

Students who select the work term stream will have the opportunity to participate in a work term(s) if eligibility requirements are maintained. Students will have the flexibility to transfer to the non-work term stream at any time. The work term(s) is similar in length to an academic semester and is typically a full-time position that may be paid or unpaid. The work term job search is student-driven and participation in the work term stream does not guarantee that a work position will be secured. However, students will receive guidance and support through in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching to help prepare for the work term.

What Our Graduates Say

Aadhar Mehta

Graduate, Marketing Management

“The soft skills and marketing knowledge I gained at Seneca directly helped me excel in my career. I use the knowledge, resilience and discipline I learned every day. The program’s work term gave me the opportunity to intern at Omnicom Group, which gave me real-life experience of the concepts taught in class. After four months, I was able to land a full-time role. For me, Seneca Polytechnic was always the top choice!”
