NAIT Graphic Communication Practicum
A message from Norm:
Hello, my name is Norm Peterson and I am the Academic Chair for the NAIT Graphic Communications program.
This coming April 2018, we will be sending out Graphic Communications students on a two-week Professional Experience to help them gain practical, hands-on industry training, and to apply their learned skillset from NAIT. If you would like to host a student for two weeks in April, we would really appreciate the support. There are no expectations from your organization other than to return a signed insurance form and provide a quick feedback survey upon the completion of the practicum. Students are covered under NAIT insurance while on the practicum.
Please review the details for the upcoming practicum. If you are unable to help us this year, feel free to forward this email onto someone that could be in a position to help out. We cannot guarantee that every organization will receive a practicum student, but we will do our best to accommodate all requests.
Once students complete the Graphic Communications practicum, they would be available for employment, as their NAIT studies would be complete. If you are looking to hire someone this would be a great opportunity to “test drive” a potential candidate for two weeks at no cost to your organization. There is no expectation of employment, but we would hope the student would be provided a good learning experience.
