To access these services, you and your organization must comply with all employment standards outlined by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, the Human Rights Code, and Emily Carr University.

Also please note British Columbia’s Wage Transparency Act which came into effect on Nov 1st.

[https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/gender-equity/wage-or-salary-information-on-job-postings] and requires that wages be included on all job postings.

All student experiential opportunity postings such as field practices (formerly co-ops) must be compensated as per the British Columbia Employment Standards Act’s definitions.

Emily Carr University posts volunteer opportunities for registered charitable organizations, and not-for-profit organizations only, with preference given to work that is related to our undergraduate and master’s degree.

In compliance with the Graphic Designers of Canada’s Code of Ethics, Emily Carr University does not post opportunities requiring the applicants to perform speculative work (such as competitions).

Recruiting and posting privileges will not be provided to organizations that:

  • Charge student applicants directly for services
  • Require a financial investment on the part of the applicants
  • Offer compensation that is primarily based on commission
  • Offer compensation that is primarily based on speculative work
  • Offer volunteer opportunities and are not a registered charitable organization or not-for-profit organization

Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

In order to qualify for WIL course credits, students must be practicing in their field of study (or a related field) and receive mentorship by a supervisor who is experienced in that area, since students complete an elective course in lieu of a studio based elective course. For example: a design student would work in design, a film student would work on a film project, etc.

Students are available on a semester basis full and part-time from:
January-April, May-August, and September-December.

Students are typically paid between $18 - 28 per hour, depending on their range of experience. Our students are selected from a pool of senior students who have achieved stronger than average grades. The Career Development + Work Integrated Learning Office will vet all postings. Should you require further information please contact us.
