Internship Information Students

Thank you for choosing to learn more about the internship component of PACE diploma programs. UWinnipeg PACE partners with local businesses to provide students with meaningful, hands-on internships that provide a launch-pad into the workforce after the in-class components of our specialized diploma programs.  

What is an internship?

Internship is the gateway to your re-entry into the workforce and provides a tangible framework to develop hands-on work experience. Internship will help you gain confidence in skills developed through your studies and build a portfolio through real-world work assignments.

 

What qualifies as an internship site?

UWinnipeg PACE will approve an internship site based on the following criteria:

  • The site allows you to build on the theory and practice acquired through your studies
  • The internship site will benefit your career goals
  • The organization assigns an experienced practitioner to supervise you
  • The Site Supervisor is committed to mentoring, and will provide on-going feedback about your work
  • The internship organization commits physical space and technology to support your work
  • The University approves the proposed work assignments

What are the internship eligibility criteria?

You are expected to commit a minimum of 140 hours of direct service to the internship site.

Internship approval is conditional to an exemplary attendance record and a minimum GPA 3.0 (B or higher).

How do I apply for internship?

Qualified applicants apply through the prescribed internship application process based on the internship opportunities available through the University.

 

Is internship mandatory?

No, but it is strongly recommended. Participating in an internship can provide you with work experience, references, and contacts within your field, allowing you to enhance your resume and expand your professional network.

When do I start my internship?

The internship placement is scheduled during the final month of the program and students work approximately seven hours per day over a 4-week period.

 

Can I lose an internship?

You may lose an internship due to poor job performance, lack of professionalism, or chronic absenteeism.

 

How is the internship evaluated?

Internship site supervisors provide a brief evaluation to the Internship Coordinator, outlining the time committed, and possibly including feedback for the student. Once the evaluation is returned, the Pass/Fail will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

Internship site supervisors often provide direct feedback to the intern towards the end of the internship.

How is the internship graded?

The internship component is graded as Pass/Fail. You will be evaluated based on your overall performance including:

  • the quality of your work
  • your initiative
  • your ability to meet deadlines
  • your ability to receive and adapt to structured feedback
  • your professional conduct
  • your ability to work in a team environment
