Why WIL?
Your WIL Power
Powered ultimately by you, your work-integrated learning experiences prepare you for your future career. They may include field experiences, professional practicums, clinicals, internships, and co-operative education.

Humber's Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness offers placements through extensive partnerships with hospitals, long-term care facilities, child care centers, community and educational agencies, industry groups, and other facilities throughout the greater Toronto and surrounding areas.
