NAVNEET
INTERNSHIP STUDENT
Navneet found his purpose by
interning with Syncrude as a Student
Consultant on Sustainability Policy.
He is incredibly involved on and
off campus as a Senior UAlberta
Ambassador and a Human Rights
Advocate for the John Humphrey
Centre ­— to name a few!
My internship with Syncrude
allowed me to explore my interests
in sustainability, gender equity,
and Indigenous community policy
development­­—areas I hope to
progress in my future career. I now
have a better understanding of how
I can apply my schooling when
advocating for policy changes for
marginalized communities.”
Co-op programs and
work experience
Many faculties and programs at the
U of A offer paid co-op programs or
work experience placements - letting
you obtain practical experience while
you earn credit towards your degree.
U of A co-op and work placement
partners include businesses
ranging in size from five to 50,000+
employees, government at all levels,
research laboratories, and non-
governmental organizations.
Participating in co-op work
programs, work experience
placements, or academic internships
has been shown to make graduates
more attractive to employers, and to
receive higher starting salaries!
A Canadian career
after graduation
After you graduate from the U of A,
you may be eligible to stay and work
in Canada for up to 3 years with the
Post Graduation Work Permit. Living
and working in Canada provides
opportunities to apply for Permanent
Residency.
