won't be able to be present on campus

15

necessarily

16
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,199
even though it's a remote offering

17
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,119

18
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:27,199
to complete the 40-hour internship

19
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:28,960
they will be able to build their resumes

20
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,800
network and have opportunities to work

00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,719
with many great organizations

22
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,239
the host organization will give them a

23
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:35,680
lot of feedback throughout their 40

24
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:37,440
hours and then at the end they will have

25
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,200
an opportunity to write a reflective

26
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,480
paper where they can articulate all the

27
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,879
skills that they have learned

28
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,360
however to get evaluated in the course

29
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:46,559
students will complete job applications

30
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,160
mock interviews

31
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:50,239
really build their professional and

32
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,840
networking skills while also

33
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:53,600
focusing on how they fit in with the

34
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120
agri-food industry and how their

35
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,879
degree program is relevant to the

36
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,680
agri-food industry so students will be

37
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:00,640
able to connect

38
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,920
remotely using a variety of platforms

39
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,840
that they feel comfortable with whether

40
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,159
it's course link or email

41
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,000
we will always be available on teams and

42
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:09,680
microsoft teams is a great platform that

43
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280
a lot of other organizations use and

44
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,880
students will have the opportunity to

45
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
become comfortable with it so that once

46
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600
they graduate

47
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360
they don't feel like they're lost in a

48
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,520
world of remote work the agri-food

49
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,360
industry is always looking for smart

50
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,360
young talented people to hire and to

51
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240
invest in to train and let them grow in

52
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,880
the industry

53
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,680
and now more than ever kobe 19 has put

54
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560
pressures

55
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,640
on agri-food in order to be able to feed

56
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,439
canadians and help canada thrive

57
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
as canada's food university we need to

58
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:38,320
train

59
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,320
our young leaders for tomorrow so that

60
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,240
when they can graduate they can help

61
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,600
and make sure that the pressures that

62
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,399
have been put on the system

63
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520
can be mitigated and can be taken off so

64
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:49,439
that we can have

65
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:54,950
a canadian agri-food system that works

66
00:01:49,439 --> 00:02:02,079
in canada and also globally
