Student goals and capabilities

Fourth-year students from the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus are available to be your virtual interns, in a project- or virtual service-based experience. Students will engage in one or more projects or services of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students are available for a minimum of 30 hours from January 11th to April 16th, 2021. They are able to work in groups of 2-3.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.

These project or service offerings are part of the community placement experience, where students obtain practical experience in a supervised health or human kinetics work setting with a cooperating agency, private business or industry.

After requesting and confirming our course, we will ask all companies to complete this short project template form to confirm a few details prior to starting.
