York University develops resources to support remote experiential education.
Thousands of York University students count on some form of experiential education (EE) placements, co-ops, and internships to give them a leg up. EE helps students expand their understanding of a subject and their professional networks as well as develop skills to help them on the job market. As EE activities migrated online during the pandemic, York's Experience Hub developed resources to ease the transition for both students and employers. For example, the Experience Hub team created a suite of videos to demonstrate how students can continue to participate in EE remotely. The videos include testimonials from students, faculty, and employer partners.
