Humber students have access to some of the finest learning resources offered anywhere - including leading-edge technology that meets current industry demands. Humber education ensures that each student acquires the skills and professionalism expected in today's business world.
As an employer, you are expected to monitor and guide work activities, provide feedback on performance, advise on appropriate procedures and to complete evaluation forms.
Employers should be prepared to provide the student with a work placement supervisor who is an experienced, full-time practitioner in his or her field of business. While the student can be expected to operate fairly independently, on-going contact, guidance and support will be mutually beneficial.
Students are eager to enter the workplace and apply the skills they have gained from their programs in a challenging and meaningful manner. They are looking for practical experience in their field of study and a chance to hone interpersonal, communication, problem-solving and analytical skills.
Work Placements can be paid or volunteer positions. Compensation in the form of transit passes, parking privileges or an honorarium upon successful completion of a work term are some examples of remuneration. In addition, employers hiring an approved Coop Student may qualify for the Co-operative Education Tax Credit.
A Humber Business student can fill any entry-level role in an organization and can work across a broad range of fields. Our programs teach a unique balance of practical, workplace-ready skills and advanced theoretical knowledge. The benefit to employers mean shorter learning curves and greater results.
Becoming a partner is easy. You can call us or email us – whichever you prefer. We consider each of our participating organizations to be a valued partner in our program and we thank you in advance for your time and contribution.
An employer is responsible for monitoring and guiding a student’s work activities, advising on appropriate procedures, as well as providing regular feedback on a student’s progress and completing an evaluation of the student at the end of their term.
Our students can be expected to operate fairly independently, however on-going contact, guidance and supervision are expected from the supervisor and are recommended in getting the most out of the experience for both student and employer. A student’s work placement supervisor should be an experienced, full-time practitioner in their program’s field of business.
Our students expect a meaningful challenge in their placement position and to work on projects that directly relate to their field of study. They want the opportunity to prove themselves and to gain skills in a practical, real-world employment situation. Placements should offer the chance to hone a student’s interpersonal, communication, problem-solving and analytical skills.
Our work placement students are treated like any other employee in an organization. If the fit isn't right, please feel free to contact your placement advisor and we work together to determine the best course of action. We are confident that we will find you the right student for the job, but if there is a problem, we will help you deal with it on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. You have the choice to read through the resumes of applicants on your own or to work with one of our placement advisors to help you narrow your search.

Yes, we will be happy to set you up on campus. We have access to various class and meeting rooms that can fit your needs if you do not have the ability to bring a student to you. However, most employers use their own facilities for meeting students and conducting interviews.
Our programs are designed to include a work placement at the end of a student’s program of study, either during the last semester, at the very end of their last semester or as in the case of paid work terms and co-op in between years of study. Some schedules may differ and you may request placement terms that are tailored to your requirements.
Our work placement positions are traditionally unpaid. Compensation in the form of transit passes or parking privileges or an honorarium upon successful completion of the program are examples of past remuneration.
Students often forgo traditional paid employment or give up paid part-time work for the duration of these placements, often while carrying significant student debt, so any type of compensation is greatly appreciated.
For traditional co-op and paid work terms compensation varies depending on student's experience, the responsibilities of the job and the employer's budget. Contact your advisor for detailed information.
As with all non-paid student placements, we require our students and employers to complete the Work/Education Placement Agreement documentation through the Ministry of Education. Our placement advisors can help facilitate this process, which is meant to protect everyone by verifying workplace safety and insurance information.
Each of our programs have their own detailed curriculum available online. Employers are welcome to search our programs to see which programs would best suit their organization.
Placement advisors are here to help connect you with the ideal student for your position and your organization. They know our programs, our students and their capabilities. Plus, they work with you to better understand the needs of your business so that they can ensure your postings reach the right students. Our advisors help you sort through applicants, schedule interviews if necessary and help administrate the placement itself from beginning to end.
We have advisors at our North and Lakeshore campuses. Don’t hesitate to contact any one of them with any questions you may have.
