my name is denisa matavik
and i teach unit 3140 flexible
internship and agri-food and i work for
the ontario agricultural college
we are hard at work prepping to have a
great semester
and make sure that the learning
opportunities are there even though we
won't be able to be present on campus
necessarily
even though it's a remote offering
students will still have the opportunity
to complete the 40-hour internship
they will be able to build their resumes
network and have opportunities to work
with many great organizations
the host organization will give them a
lot of feedback throughout their 40
hours and then at the end they will have
an opportunity to write a reflective
paper where they can articulate all the
skills that they have learned
however to get evaluated in the course
students will complete job applications
mock interviews
really build their professional and
networking skills while also
focusing on how they fit in with the
agri-food industry and how their
degree program is relevant to the
agri-food industry so students will be
able to connect
remotely using a variety of platforms
that they feel comfortable with whether
it's course link or email
we will always be available on teams and
microsoft teams is a great platform that
a lot of other organizations use and
students will have the opportunity to
become comfortable with it so that once
they graduate
they don't feel like they're lost in a
world of remote work the agri-food
industry is always looking for smart
young talented people to hire and to
invest in to train and let them grow in
the industry
and now more than ever kobe 19 has put
pressures
on agri-food in order to be able to feed
canadians and help canada thrive
as canada's food university we need to
train
our young leaders for tomorrow so that
when they can graduate they can help
and make sure that the pressures that
have been put on the system
can be mitigated and can be taken off so
that we can have
a canadian agri-food system that works
in canada and also globally
