Students participating in work experiences complete one or two work terms (typically full-time) within their academic program. These work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student's field of study and/or career goals.
Students participating in the Work Learn program are supported in high-quality, part-time, campus-based work experiences through the provision of wage subsidies.
Students participating in the EDGE certificate program develop key professional skills, explore their career options, and market themselves to employers. They can complete academic courses that feature work-integrated learning and co-curricular opportunities that meet a series of criteria.
Students in the Animation program complete a work experience between their third and fourth years of study.
You can view more relevant literature on work experience by visiting WatCACE's WIL research portal.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
