Fully work-integrated degree programs debut in Canada

First piloted in the UK in 2015 to great success, work-integrated degree programs have finally arrived in Canada with York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering.

Offering unparalleled opportunities for both students and employers, these programs allow learners to earn competitive salaries and a four-year degree at the same time, building relevant skills and actively developing the talent employers need. “It’s all about opening doors,” says Jane Goodyer, dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering. “Our new Digital Technologies program will address the ICT sector’s skills shortage while transforming the future of learning and employment in Canada.”
