We are excited to announce that a new group of Digital Health Graduate Certificate students at Mohawk College are seeking potential projects for their Capstone course starting in the spring (May 2025)! The Capstone projects will be completed in groups of 2 to 4 students over two semesters starting in the spring semester (May 2025) and concluding at the end of the fall semester (December 2025). The spring course will focus on students choosing a project, collecting requirements, formulating a design, doing some project planning and building a very rudimentary prototype system. During the fall semester, students will complete the implementation, test and deploy their final projects.

The Career Pathways program provides an opportunity for neurodiverse students to enhance both academic and professional skills in an empowering learning environment. Career Pathways students have brought their many strengths to over 40 other college programs and a variety of industries beyond graduation. The placement is a key part of the program where students build on their professional skills and receive valuable mentorship through real-world employment experience. In partnering with the Career Pathways program, the community partner benefits from working with students with a unique perspective who are reliable, supportive, and empathetic. It also provides the community partner with exposure to the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace, reinforcing the importance of diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

Bring a group of students from the Early Childhood Education program at Mohawk College to be your virtual interns! Students are looking for opportunities to pursue their special interests and passion in a placement experience. In these varied settings, students will engage with children, families, staff, and other professionals. Students will be supported throughout their field placement experience by further enhancing their understanding of Pedagogy for the Early Years with a focus on the four foundations: Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement, and Expression. Students are available for 20-26 hours (unpaid) of placement project time from Wednesday, February 5 to Friday, April 4, 2025 (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) in a virtual or in person (Hamilton or area) capacity. Students will not work during the Reading Week scheduled for Feb 17 to Feb 21.

Our post graduate Concurrent Disorders program students are ready to virtually support individuals, families, and communities who are facing challenges with addiction or mental health. As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to help out in various ways, developing their skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to enter the field as an addiction and mental health worker practitioner. We are looking for placement sites where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of addiction and mental health work, including interpersonal skills, counseling, group facilitation, harm reduction, and case management. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed. The students are available for 200 hours of unpaid, for-credit work experience beginning in March, 2024
