The 2nd Year Recreation Leadership Diploma students have just completed their first week of Internship.

 Internship is an exciting part of the Diploma Program where in their final semester, students choose their own internship placement with an agency, either from a list of placements available, or they negotiate their own.

Internship is a valuable exercise that allows students to put theoretical knowledge and classroom learning into practical experience. The placements are 14 weeks in length, and take place in a variety of agencies and settings.
