Consideration will also be given to faculty’s ability to monitor and evaluate the experience to ensure program learning outcomes are met.
Health and Safety – International
Your health and safety, when travelling internationally for your work experience, is of upmost importance. Certain regions and countries may carry risks due to social and local factors. NSCC adheres to travel advice and advisories issued by the Government of Canada and may also consider some locations to be of very high or extreme risk, leading to travel restrictions. These conditions are subject to change and must be carefully evaluated before an international trip. As a result, NSCC reserves the right to deny requests for international work experiences.
Insurance – International
When completing a work experience outside of Canada, students are required to have additional coverage known as “Student Guard Insurance” which is mandatory and and requires you to pay an additional fee. NSCC International can assist in arranging this insurance. Please contact international@nscc.ca for further assistance.
