International Work Experience (Work Experience outside Canada)
For students considering undertaking a work experience outside of Canada, certain steps must be followed:
- Complete the Intent to Complete International Form and participate in an orientation provided by NSCC International
- The completed form should be submitted to WorkExperience@nscc.ca before the final day of classes in the Fall semester. Please ensure you copy your faculty on this email
- NSCC Career and Employment services will share the form details with the NSCC International Office, and NSCC International will reach out to you to discuss next steps
Health & Safety
The health and safety of students travelling internationally for study 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
When completing a work experience outside of Canada, students are required to have additional coverage known as “Student Guard Insurance” which is mandatory and should be paid for by the student. NSCC International can assist in arranging this insurance. Please contact international@nscc.ca for further assistance.
