Work Placement
Experiential learning is an integral part of this program. The program features three unpaid internship placements. Two take place on campus and the third takes place off campus. During the on-campus internships, students provide fitness assessments and testing, physical activity counselling and prescription services to Humber and partnership employees as part of the Humber Centre for Healthy Living (Humber CHL). Students have the opportunity to run workshops for the Humber CHL and its partners, as well as providing healthy tips and videos for the Humber CHL website. Throughout the on-campus internship, students participate in seminars with their professors and classmates to critically analyze their experiences and develop the skills required for professional work.
The final work placement is a four-week block placement off campus with one of Humber’s industry partners.
