All are identified as critical by Canadian employers to help students in the Canadian labour market. The capstone project in the final module is a short service internship that allows you to gain valuable Canadian work experience, prepares you with mentorship and support, and empowers you to further your career readiness for the Canadian labour market. Upon completion, Lakehead Makes Leaders levels are added to your Co-Curricular Record.
