External Partners
Experiential learning at the University of Alberta offers students opportunities to merge theoretical knowledge and ideas with hands-on practical experiences. It is “learning by doing”. At the University of Alberta, experiential learning encompasses a vast array of opportunities, including but not limited to, internships, co-operative education, community-service learning, project-based learning and research partnerships. Partnering with a student from the University of Alberta can bring new perspectives and skills to your organization, while creating invaluable learning experiences for students.
