Introduction:
The Science Career Centre allows Bachelor of Science (BsC) students to explore various career options and opportunities. It allows you to hone a diverse range of skills including critical thinking, creativity, communication, and versatility. You will have access to potential employers from a variety of subjects, allowing students to explore different potential career paths and grasp what works for them.
Internships: Link
A wide range of internship opportunities are available both in terms of duration and position. Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree have options to pursue work experience lengths of 4, 8, 12, or 16 months. Internships enable students to market themselves and establish a career foundation and networking system with potential employers. Doing so provides students with a platform to apply knowledge, gain and refine transferable skills, all while receiving financial compensation. The work experience also exposes them to different work environments so they can plot out their career paths.

Employers: Link
Science Internship Program (SIP) allows employers from companies large and small alike to select students from various departments that fulfill their employment criteria. Students interns allow employers to have access to affordable skilled labour, scout for prospective future hires, or even publicity via previously employed students who spread or review their experiences with the company. Organizations can even obtain wage subsidies if they hire students for internships.

Student Interns: Link
There are three Science Internship Program (SIP) application cycles: Beginning September-Early October, Beginning January-End January, End May-End June. International students are eligible to apply for SIP (provided they obtain a work permit in Canada), although some positions may be restricted to Canadian citizens.
Internship Timeline: Link
Study: attend SIP information session in September, complete introductory courses (24 credits minimum), apply to SciWorks in May
Study and SIP Preparation: submit application for SciWorks in September, attend seminars (resume writing and interviewing skills), read job postings on SciWorks, prepare concise and professional resume
Study/Internship: search job postings on SciWorks, continue application and interview process until you find employment, book appointment with SIP advisor for application/interview feedback, accept position and inform SIP, register in work experience courses (automatic via SIP), start internship in January, May, or September, need 48 credits minimum prior to internship (students may also find their own employment if desired)
Internship: SIP Advisor will be assigned to each student, SIP visits are meant to occur after 3 months of work experience, complete 3 month probationary period, meet with employer for practice review, employer to complete evaluation at end of placement, for SIP designation: students must complete at minimum 8 months of cumulative experience, and attend INTD 400 course
Final year: Complete INT 400, complete remaining course
