Community and Workplace Partnerships (CWP) collaborates with employers and community organizations to provide you with curricular experiential learning opportunities. These opportunities will challenge you to use your in-class learning with experiences outside the traditional classroom. You'll learn from the experience and your reflection on the experience as it relates to course theory and to your own personal and professional development.
Your experience will be tracked and captured in Navigator for your Laurier Experience Record. These powerful learning opportunities will enrich your course experience as you make contributions to partner organizations and the community.
What is Curricular Experiential Learning?
Curricular Experiential Learning (EL) is a work or simulated-work, or community setting within your academic course or program. Through this experience, you can apply the knowledge or skills you gain from your academic studies in a real-world setting.
Workplace or simulated-workplace projects such as real world case studies, research activities or events are carried out by Laurier students for a partner organization.
Weekly service-learning placements or project activities in the not-for-profit and public sectors.
Short-term workplace exposure opportunities that allow students to observe, engage and ask questions.
An intensive, longer-term workplace engagement, often discipline-specific and directly supervised by the partner organization; with shorter-term (unpaid) and longer-term (paid) options depending on course/program.
