The Work/Place Program transforms student employment into an experiential learning opportunity by providing a way for students to set goals and self-reflect during their work term. In addition you are connected to resources, services and events offered by the CEAD.
In recognition of participating in the Work/Place program, students receive recognition from OCAD University through a limited-edition enamelled pin designed by an OCAD U alumni.
Program Overview
The program is comprised of three canvas modules with a selection of activities. To complete the program, participate in at least one activity from each module.
Completion of activities is tracked via a Canvas course. Opportunities, events and activities are added throughout the year. You can select and complete the activities in any order, and at any time.

Work/Place Themes
While there are many opportunities for learning and growth while working on campus, the Work/Place program identifies three key categories, and a variety of proficiencies, that students can focus on.
Throughout the program, students can refer to these themes to reflect and frame their experiences.
Personal Development: Developing knowledge and skills important to personal growth. This includes expanding your self-awareness, organizational skills, and communication skills.
Professional Development: Developing skills important to your professional goals. This includes establishing an understanding of professional conduct, setting priorities, and building your creative practice.
Civic and Social Engagement: Developing skills, knowledge and ways of navigating the world as a civic minded individual. For example, building capacity within a community through skills-sharing, or furthering intercultural competency and inclusivity.
