Work Integrated Learning
Depending on the subject matter, teaching methods may be via classroom instruction, practical application, placement with an employer, or some combination of these elements. As an example, a business diploma may only require in-class study, but a certification in veterinary sciences will require hands-on work with animals. A variety of programs at Algonquin College require applied study or field placement for graduation; please review program websites carefully to ensure that you are fully informed about program expectations.
