Learner goals and capabilities

Bring a group of students from the Early Childhood Education program at Mohawk College to be your virtual interns! Students are looking for opportunities to pursue their special interests and passion in a placement experience. In these varied settings, students will engage with children, families, staff, and other professionals.

Students will be supported throughout their field placement experience by further enhancing their understanding of Pedagogy for the Early Years with a focus on the four foundations: Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement, and Expression.

Students are available for up to 26 hours per week (unpaid) of placement project time from January 22 to March 21 (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) in a virtual capacity only.
