Work experience for post-secondary Education students
Funded by Employment and Social Development Canada
The Student Work Placement (SWP) program supports partnerships between arts and culture employers and post-secondary education (PSE) institutions to create paid quality work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities for students so that they can develop the work-ready skills that are required to secure meaningful employment upon graduation.
Culture Works Canada is now offering online drop-in information sessions for the Student Work Placement program every weekday, Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 1:30pm EDT.

CWC staff have been receiving a steady stream of emails and calls asking about the SWP program and we would like to invite employers to join us in a friendly, live and interactive environment to address any questions they may have. If you have any questions, we hope to see you there!
Remote work is allowed
Cultural sector employers include Digital Media (Content Creators); Film and Television; Live Performing Arts; Music and Sound Recording; Visual Arts and Crafts; Writing and Publishing; and Heritage. The student's field of study does not have to be related to arts and culture. For example, if a Canadian cultural sector employer requires assistance in developing its website, a computer science student could be hired.
