- As they have time, your coordinator will participate in your orientation which will help to prepare you for your internship experience.
- Your coordinator will be available to communicate with you (by email) while you are in your placement to give encouragement, to receive updates, to problem solve and give limited feedback.
- Your coordinator will be available to you to help debrief after your return to Canada.
- They will read through and respond to your journal.
- Your coordinator will be available to write references for you.
