Our work can be very rewarding and fulfilling. There is a certain level of satisfaction gained when we solve a difficult problem, help a customer, or finish a particular task or project. Of course our work helps us pay our bills and maintain our livelihood too—all of which is a good thing. With that said, most of us also want to maintain a life outside of work; one in which we spend time with family and friends, have the opportunity to pursue our hobbies and interests, and have the chance to relax and not think about work. We desire a balance between work and our personal life.
This course will help you compare your expectations against what is truly realistic for your job. Once we do this, we can identify how to create the right balance, thus ensuring both our work and personal commitments can be met. By completing this course, you will be able to check your personal expectations regarding your workload and job requirements.
Course Result: Check your personal expectations regarding your workload and job requirements.

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.
