WIL SHOWCASE
SUMMER 2020 EDITION
As a leader in polytechnic education, we strive to make the connections between theory and practice come to life as our students prepare for careers that will change the lives of others. Student placements play an integral role in the experience we offer, and the way in which our students learn to be agents of change in the professions they are studying. COVID 19 has introduced new challenges to the way all 800 of our industry partners work, and also in how they support our students. As the world began to shut-down, so did many of the opportunities our students had to experience this hands on learning.
To tackle this challenge we convened faculty who work in industry to help us create new ways of ensuring our students put their education into practice. The Project Library was developed to create opportunities for our students to work in remote ways to create tools that could help their fields, the clients that are served, and even the students themselves. This publication outlines just some of the work that our students did while showcasing the creativity and compassion that Humber is known for. I hope you enjoy reviewing these projects, and consider joining us to create new ones as we move into a future that will be very than the past we are leaving behind.

A LETTER FROM THE MANAGER, PLACEMENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS
Work-Integrated Learning is a partnership model designed to prepare students for the workplace through direct experience. The Work-Integrated Learning projects you are about to explore showcase examples of what our students did when the world paused.
We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to all of the individuals who applied their creativity and determination to reimagine our services and communities in new and meaningful ways. We are on the precipice of creating new social systems and know that the only way forward is by learning from each other and working together. We hope that you will be inspired to address collective problems through collaboration with the Faculty of Social and Community Services at Humber College.
There are many ways to collaborate with Humber: supervise one student in your workplace or host an interdisciplinary team through an applied project; engage with faculty on research relevant to your field or present a challenge to a classroom of students. Our students are eager to work with you and learn from you in-person as well as remotely.
Programs in the Faculty of Social and Community Services include a range of disciplines from Human Services to Justice Services.
I hope these projects inspire you to connect with our Work-Integrated Learning Center to explore ways that our students can help you lead the way in reimagining our world. My team is available at FSCSwork.learn@humber.ca.
