Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Evaluation of the Learning: Participate in a virtual check-up and follow-up measures by the institution to assess the student’s progress and performance. Complete a final evaluation of the student’s performance during the work term, which they are encouraged to discuss with the student. Although completed by the student, provide opportunity to discuss with the student their final work term report.
Remuneration: While remuneration may not always be a wage, most students should be paid an hourly or weekly rate of at least minimum wage during their work terms. Room and board, a stipend, an award or a scholarship may be alternative forms of payment, particularly for an international work term.
Employer/Student Relationship: The supervisor and the student must establish an effective relationship. For the majority of work term/project work, the student becomes an employee of the employing organization and is expected to be treated as any other temporary employee regarding benefits and other employment requirements as defined by the Employment Standards Act or a Collective Agreement.
Learning Environment: Assist students to set realistic learning objectives and provide relevant learning opportunities. Also, acquaint the student with relevant resources and materials
