Step 3: Attend the Job Search Preparation Workshop

Before being accepted and enrolled in the Internship Programs, students must attend a mandatory Internship Job Search Preparation Workshop, which is offered throughout the year. During this workshop, students are provided with job search techniques and tips for securing a successful internship position; including resumé writing and interview preparation techniques.  

Students must have attended an Internship Job Search Preparation Workshop (or alternate workshops as specified below) within a year of applying to the program. Students who attended an Internship Job Search Preparation Workshop more than a year prior to submitting their application are required to attend another workshop to receive the most up-to-date internship job search information. Please note that this is a targeted session for internship students, which differs from the Career Centre's regular Job Search Preparation Workshops.

Option for students who cannot attend any of the scheduled Internship Job Search Preparation Workshops: Students who are not able to attend one of the scheduled Internship Job Search Preparation workshops may attend both a Resumé Writing workshop and an Interview Skills workshop to substitute for the Internship Job Search Preparation workshop. These workshops are offered as part of the Career Centre's regular schedule. Students who choose this option must inform the Career Centre's Internship Team via email (ccintern@yorku.ca) that they have done so and provide the dates of the alternate workshops that have been attended. Please include "Substituting Workshops for the Internship Job Search Preparation Workshop" in the subject line.
