Harvesting skills
My greatest success during my internship was teaching technicians across Canada. It was extremely rewarding and it gave me a lot of self-confidence.

Participating in an internship is a unique experience that shows what is to be expected of students once they graduate. It is like going to a class named "Introduction to working in a real job."

Beyond the classroom
The social, cultural, and academic aspects of my summer internship at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev gave me fantastic encouragement for me to pursue further opportunities in the field of water and waste engineering.

About the Internship Program
In September 2009, the Bieler Family Internship Program was created through a generous contribution from McGill Macdonald Alumni, Mr. and Mrs. Marc Bieler, of Canneberges Atoka Cranberries Inc.
The Internship Program was established to allow all undergraduate students the opportunity to complete an internship, prior to graduation.
How the program works
Students receive recognition of their internship on their academic transcripts. Evaluation for the program is based on the completion of academic reports. Students will receive a pass or fail noted on their transcripts if registered in the FAES 200 course, or a final grade if registered in the FAES 300 course.
Interns are required to complete a minimum of 10 weeks with their host organization.
Here is the "How-to-Guide"
The How To Guide
Services Available to Students
The Internship Office helps to facilitate student internships by offering students guidance on which internships to pursue, assisting with paperwork and applications, giving information on funding and awards and offering advice on cover letters and resumes.
In addition to the placements the office coordinates, students are encouraged to search for their own internship opportunities.
