Recruiting and Utilizing Student Talent in Your Organization

Session Goals and Outcomes: Employers will walk away from this activity-based workshop with an understanding of different options to bring students into their organization, available at Calgary-based Post-Secondary Institutions through Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and which options work best for their organization. Outcomes include the ability to:

• Identify over six different WIL options available for employers to utilize student talent in their organization
• Distinguish between the different WIL definitions, including paid and unpaid options, available timing, and requirements to participate as a WIL employer, as well as the pros/cons of each type
• Determine which WIL types are best suited to your organization's structure and goals
• Network with PSI representatives and the TalentED YYC team, available to further support you with scoping student-based opportunities for your organization
• Gain early access to Calgary’s Work Integrated Learning catalogue – an employer tool to understand student recruitment options and timing.
