International Student Work Experience Program (ISWEP)

The International Student Work Experience Program (ISWEP) offers funding and support for University of Alberta departments and off-campus employers to hire international undergraduate students during the summer, providing students with opportunities to gain valuable Canadian work experience and develop skills. Funding for this program is received from the differential fees paid by international undergraduate students.
