Work Experience Data and Information Management – Collection, Use and Disclosure

Data Management

At NSCC, we manage and monitor all work experiences using our dedicated Work Experience and Professional Practice Portals. These portals provide a centralized and easily searchable catalog, enabling us to keep a comprehensive record of each student’s work experience. The Work Experience Portal includes essential details such as company name, contact information, and specific work experience information, such as start and end dates, total hours, and wage (if applicable). This streamlined system ensures efficient tracking and facilitates seamless access to critical work experience data for students and relevant stakeholders. We also use this database to invite industry partners to join in program evaluations and on-campus industry events.

We prioritize safeguarding the information shared by students and employers, ensuring strict control over its collection, use, and disclosure. We firmly adhere to the principle of informed consent, upholding the right of employers to be informed about the information in our records. For any inquiries concerning privacy or data usage, we encourage you to reach out to us at WorkExperience@nscc.ca, where we are available to address your concerns and provide the necessary support.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is of upmost importance in maintaining privacy, security, and trust in professional and personal interactions. Students are obliged to maintain confidentiality regarding all information about clients, policies, and work materials they may encounter during their experience. However, sharing general information relevant to the student’s educational experience with faculty may be necessary.
