Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning (CEWIL) Canada<\/a>, the month-long celebration will see an array of events nationally and within the Brock community, which are designed to\u00a0educate students, faculty and community partners about the experiential opportunities, co-op work terms, community-engaged projects and career-related programs available to them.<\/p>\nFor Cara Krezek, Brock\u2019s Director of Co-op, Career and Experiential Education (CCEE) and President of CEWIL Canada, the chance to continue to showcase Brock\u2019s ongoing WIL initiatives within a national spotlight required more than a week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to turn Co-op and WIL Week into Co-op and WIL Month to provide our partners across the country with an expanded period of time to fully explore and promote the many work-integrated learning opportunities available to our community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
On campus, the CCEE team is set to stage dozens of events, giveaways, workshops, information booths and drop-in caf\u00e9s, which are all centred around the theme \u2018Experience More.\u2019<\/p>\n
Slightly further afield, the team will also host the annual CCEE Recognition and Celebration event at Heartland Forest on Wednesday, March 11 to recognize the efforts of exemplary students, community and industry partners, and the Rise and Shine event on Tuesday, March 25 at Caf\u00e9 Fifty Four in Niagara Falls, which aims to network with the community and provide CCEE resources to new audiences.<\/p>\n
Krezek said the month allows more time for students to learn about the established programs CCEE already hosts, new programs they are preparing, and from students and staff who are actively engaged in a diverse range of opportunities and are seen as national leaders in the WIL community.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom celebrating the 20th anniversary of our Med Plus program to recognizing our current outstanding student award winners to promoting our new Talent Bridge opportunities, Co-op and WIL Month is designed to bring our entire community together to \u2018experience more\u2019 of the options CCEE has available,\u201d said Krezek.<\/p>\n
Co-op and WIL Month begins Monday, March 2 and runs until Tuesday, March 31.\u00a0To learn more about Co-op and WIL Month and to see a full list of events taking place at Brock, visit the CCEE website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As a national leader in co-op and experiential learning, Brock University will be abuzz with events to celebrate the first-ever Co-op and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) Month in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":64242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36,39,7484,40,7,55,37,41,1,4,38],"tags":[6158,5052,5050,8723,8724,5847,5051,6419,4811],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64237"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64237"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64295,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64237\/revisions\/64295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
