JEG 400 - 401
Joint Environment Geography Internship Program
The primary purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to apply—in a practical setting—the Geography and Environment expertise they have gained through course work at UTM. This is accomplished through 200 hours of unpaid internships, which provide students with a valuable opportunity to make personal contacts in the Geography or Environment sector. The course is also intended to help students to bridge the gap between graduation and full-time employment. Attention is paid to helping students acquire practical skills that will serve them in their job searches and, eventually, in the workplace. The course includes speakers on practical issues relevant to the Geography and Environment, and the final written and oral submissions contribute to the development of communication skills.
