TADM 181 Work Term is a full-time, paid work experience that students complete off campus while staying closely connected to Selkirk College. Throughout the term, students are supported by faculty, and their professionalism is evaluated by both their employer and program instructors.
This is true experiential learning: students step into real hospitality roles where they can practice and develop supervisory skills and apply the principles and techniques learned in class. Because becoming a strong supervisor takes real-world practice, the Work Term partners with the hospitality industry to provide the perfect environment for this growth.
During the Work Term, students apply and extend their academic knowledge, build valuable professional relationships, and gain industry experience with hospitality employers across B.C., throughout Canada, and around the world—all of which helps launch their future careers.
