As an individual working for a company, it is part of your job to be innovative and creative; to look for new ways to solve old problems, and identify how you can better meet your customers’ needs. The great thing about this, is when you increase your innovative and creative actions, you’ll find your work is exciting and challenging, you’ll increase your contribution to the company, and others will start to notice your great work too.
This course will help you understand where you can be innovative, that is to know what you have control or influence over. It is these areas, what we can control or influence, that we can successfully innovate. Trying to improve something we have no control over tends not to work so well, so why not focus on the areas where you can make a difference. By completing this course, you will know how to seek out new or cutting edge programs or processes that positively impact the organization’s strategy.
Course Result: Seek out new or cutting edge programs or processes that positively impact the organization’s strategy.

Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
